Cobra Candlholder Set/3, Sml

With a history that spans more than 100 years, the Georg Jensen brand represents quality craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic design, producing lifestyle products ranging from hollowware to watches, jewellery and home products.

The philosophy of Georg Jensen himself was to create democratic designs possessing both functionality and beauty. His artisanal skill and artistic talent combined with his continuous ability to identify and support design talent was the foundation on which he built Georg Jensen in Copenhagen in 1904.

Georg Jensen’s style embraced the Art Nouveau lines of the day but injected them with a distinctive vigour that continues to resonate today. Serene flowing forms are enriched by exquisitely sculpted ornamentation and his stylised bouquets of flowers and lush bunches of grapes reflect his sensual delight in nature. Our most important task is to leverage the ideas and principles of the master himself and translate these into the design of the present day

• When you pick up the COBRA, its smoothness and weight is apparent. Designer Constantin Wortmann set out to make a traditional candleholder for today. It is reminiscent of an antique candestick in its substantial weight and height but is nothing like its forebears in that it has voluptuous, gravity-defying curves rendered in mirror polished stainless steel. Like the mystical snake that inspired it, it can be hard to look away from COBRA candlesticks, particularly when arranged in pairs or threes.
• The irresistible candlesticks are now available in three different sizes so that you can turn your table or mantelpiece into a captivating tableau.
