Candle holder from raawii

Jam Candleholder

In the realm of sophisticated interior design, the 'Jam Candleholder' from Raawii stands as a testament to the genius of designer Michael Kvium. Drawing on Kvium's artistic ethos, this piece captures the essence of duality - the interplay between innocence and the often overwhelming forces of the adult world. The shiny white glaze is made with precision and is only interrupted by a single black mark, reminiscent of an oversized undershirt tag, adding depth to the narrative.

The design, reminiscent of a young puppet, is a poignant reflection of the power dynamics in society, a recurring theme in Kvium's work. It is not just a functional object, but a conversation starter, a work that challenges and fascinates. A reference can also be drawn to one of his earlier paintings, such as Simple Portrait IV (2011), where a nude male figure is depicted with a lit candle dripping from the top of his head, humorously indicating the absurd kinship between enlightenment and madness.
