From the beautiful simplistic lines of Kivi tealight holders to the exquisite ice carved look of Iittala Festivos, Scandinavian candle holders are available in a wide variety of styles and designs that look lovely in any type of home décor.
Scandinavia
Located in northern Europe, Scandinavia encompasses the area of the Scandinavian Peninsula and its surrounding islands and includes the countries of:
- Sweden
- Denmark
- Norway
- Finland
- Iceland
Scandinavian Candle Holders
The area is known for its unique Scandinavian design furniture with its sleek clean lines and timeless contemporary flair. The design style is mirrored in Scandinavian home accessories including candle holders. However, in certain instances designers create candle holders that may not seem to follow the perceived Scandinavian design criteria. These designers create candle holders from materials such as concrete or iron in designs that are often very Baroque, romantic or whimsical. Yet each candle holder is a beautiful example of Scandinavian design.
Although Scandinavian style home accessories are available in many brick and mortar retail stores such as IKEA, Pottery Barn or Target, the Internet offers shoppers a wide selection of online retailers that carry a vast array of candle holders from Scandinavian designers.
