Hoff terracotta candle holder stackable

Fired from fine Tuscan terracotta - natural in the typical pink or grey shade or glazed by hand in color - the Hoff candle holders prove themselves as a decorative basis for object and light art full of possibilities. Even as a single piece - as we offer them here - the candle holders have the elegant purism of the straight-lined, clear silhouette that is characteristic of the Hoff collection by Bergs Potter. Designer Anne Hoff follows the modern design language of Scandinavian design, which always keeps the functionality of a design in mind. The candle holders are suitable for both table candles and tea lights - and are decorative eye-catchers on their own. However, you can also combine several candle holders in different stacking heights in a variety of ways, whether you want to accentuate a single color or have several shades harmonize with each other. In this way, you can always create new decorative accents in your room and table design. Of course, the stackability of the Hoff terracotta candle holders is not just a design feature: if you ever want to do without the play of light from candles, the candle holders can be stored to save space.

When Victor Berg inherited his ceramics business in Copenhagen in 1942, he was particularly keen to make the everyday lives of his fellow citizens a little more colorful in gray times. In the words of the Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen: "Life alone is not enough, said the butterfly. Sunshine, freedom and a little flower must be had." So Berg always kept a bouquet of vases and pots in his store and added cut flowers to the assortment at the same time. Copenhageners liked that - over the years, several stores in the were added, and eventually also planters and cachepots of his own design. For when Victor Berg's children joined the family business in the 1980s, they began to have their own ideas - initially inspired by historical models they found all over Europe - molded in terracotta. To this end, Bergs Potter still works with traditional potteries in Tuscany, in Lucca to be precise, and now also in Portugal; a tradition that is now being continued with great dedication by the third Berg generation. The preferred material is the famous southern Tuscan Galestro clay, which is rich in minerals and is considered particularly frost-resistant. Once fired, even the unglazed terracotta can show shades between red and pink, gray and white - an appealing natural patina that only this clay possesses. For the health of your potted plants also advantageous: in the clay contained carbonate and potassium salts grant a good permeability, which can positively influence in particular the development of the root system.
