Description

Juhava's antique ball candle is the original candle, designed by Timo Sarpaneva, for Iittala’s Festivo candleholders. The ball candle is equipped with a stem that holds it securely in place in the candleholder, be it Festivo or any other candleholder designed for taper candles.

Juhava’s candles are handmade in Finland from pure 100% stearin, and thus do not contain impurities that could cause yellowing or sooting. Due to their high oxygen content, the candles burn with a large, clear flame. The antique ball candles are sold in a set of two.

  • Diameter: 6 cm

  • Material Stearin
  • Colour White
  • Burn time 10 h
  • Product ID: SCR6430070990002

Timo Sarpaneva

Timo Sarpaneva (1926–2006) was one of the central reformers of Finnish design and one of the designers who brought Finnish design to international awareness in the 1950s and 1960s. As a multidisciplinary designer and artist, he worked with metal, ceramics, textiles and graphics, among other things, but he is best known for his pioneering glass design. 

Sarpaneva’s career was particularly strongly tied to Iittala, where he began as a designer in the early 1950s. The classic Festivo candleholders, Tsaikka glasses and Sarpaneva pot are still part of Iittala’s production.

Timo Sarpaneva – an international trendsetter of Finnish glass design

Timo Sarpaneva is one of the great names of Finnish design. Having graduated from the Institute of Industrial Arts in 1948, Sarpaneva trained as a graphic designer, but his career focused mainly on industrial design. He made Finnish design internationally known and worked for a long time with Iittala.

Sarpaneva also designed Iittala’s well-known letter i in 1956, which became one of the most recognisable symbols of Finnish design.

Classics of glass art

Sarpaneva’s design brings together a powerful artistic vision, an exceptional knowledge of materials and a desire to push the boundaries of industrial design towards a more sculptural expression.

As a glass designer, he was interested in how the surface, colour, layering and reflection of light in glass could be used as a means of expression. In the Festivo candleholders made by Iittala, a rugged, ice-like surface meets a pared-back, architectural form, while the metal holders of the Tsaikka glasses were inspired by surplus sheets from a zip factory. 

A master of many materials

Sarpaneva’s international breakthrough came in the 1950s, when Finnish design began to rise to worldwide visibility. The Milan Triennials played a central role in this development, and Sarpaneva was honoured at them on several occasions. In addition, House Beautiful magazine chose his Orkidea art glass sculpture as the most beautiful object of 1954.

In addition to glass, Sarpaneva also designed textiles, porcelain, cast-iron objects and exhibition architecture, and collaborated with several Finnish and international manufacturers. The cast-iron pot Sarpaneva designed for Iittala is still one of the best-known classics of Finnish functional design.
