Rare Vintage Danish Modern Jens Quistgaard JHQ 8 Light Iron TRIVET Candelabra Rare Vintage Danish Modern Jens Quistgaard JHQ 8 Light Cast Iron Square Grid Candle Holder Candelabra Elegant, industrial, minimalist Jens Quistgaard JHQ 8 taper candle, Trivet model, grid shaped candelabra for Dansk. Made in Denmark. Circa 1962 The form of this "Trivet" candle holder is essentially a 4x4 grid that stands on four feet. The Trivet's legs are gently tapered in a quintessentially Quistgaard fashion, and extend above the grid structure to form candle sconces. The four sconces are joined by five others, and are arranged in a square pattern. To add further visual interest to this deceptively complex design, each bar making up the grid's structure is turned 45 degrees, creating shadows whilst contributing to the object's tactility. Still has original dog eared box Trivet Is stamped ‘Dansk Designs, Denmark JHQ’.and uses Danish or Dansk brand long thin tapers As with many of Quistgaard's designs for Dansk, the candle holder is deceptively small and minimalists, almost simple in design, until you add the long tapers, which either burst out in a architectural spray of light or line up in an industrial design. Great focus is given to small details like the legs and how the shadows from the unit will cast dramatic visual effects Dansk designs have been in many museum collections for their exquisite and dramatic designs
