Well it’s nearly Christmas (there you go I said it) and I feel shiny so after yesterday’s gorgeous gold accented bowls, we’re really going for it today.

After all, if you can’t be sparkly at this time of year when can you? This sleek candlestick was apparently inspired by an unusual table in a glass museum in Finland, where Iittala is based.

I wrote a piece about interior design style in Finland for The Financial Times recently and learned that the Finns are immensely proud of their homegrown brands, of which Iittala is one. The other obvious one being Marimekko of course. Anyway, you can read more about that on the link above, we’re all about the candlesticks here today.
