With a sharp sense of contemporary Functionalist style, Mogens Lassen designed the iconic Kubus candleholder in 1962, a piece once reserved solely for family and close architect colleagues. The Kubus is still crafted in Denmark, and among architects and design connoisseurs it has achieved the status of a modern international design icon.
The geometric lines are so crisp in person, and the way it catches light from the side is genuinely striking. It’s heavier and more solidly built than I expected, which makes it feel like a real statement piece on the shelf.
Bought this as a gift for an architect friend and honestly I’m tempted to keep it for myself—the way the squared silhouette holds the candle feels deliberate and sculptural, and the patina on the metal has already started to warm up beautifully after just a few nights of use.
The clean geometric lines catch the light beautifully, and it’s surprisingly sturdy once you set a candle in it. I’ve had mine on the dining table for a week and it instantly makes the room feel more curated, like a small piece of design history that actually earns its place.
