The Cobra Candleholder: An Artistic Nod by 101 Copenhagen to the 1960s Cobra Arts Movement

Drenched in the artistic ethos of the Cobra Arts Movement of the 1960s, 101 Copenhagen's Cobra collection beautifully melds whimsy with functionality. This line, epitomizing joyful elegance, encompasses both vases and candleholders that promise to be conversation-starters in any interior decor.

The Cobra Candleholder, in particular, brings forth an enchanting dance of organic shapes and soft curves. These characteristics seem to echo the contours of human figures, imbuing each piece with a touch of playful anthropomorphism. The design ethos hinges on the naiveté and spontaneity of hand-drawn sketches, reminiscent of the free spirit embraced by Cobra artists. Such sketches gradually evolve into tangible forms that bear a delightful semblance to human silhouettes.

Crafted meticulously from ceramic, the candleholders exude an artisanal charm. The hand glazing technique used adds another layer of uniqueness to each piece. As is the nature of handmade objects, subtle variations in colour are to be expected, offering a distinct character to every individual candleholder.

Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl, the design maestros behind this collection, have once again showcased their ability to blend historical artistic movements with contemporary design elements, ensuring 101 Copenhagen remains at the forefront of innovative design.
