Sophie Taeuber-Arp, an artist with work in MoMA's collection, designed this wooden candle holder in 1929 for her and her husband Jean Arp's home in Meudon-Clamert, in the outskirts of Paris. The candle holder has a simple cylindrical form, chosen to complement the furniture they designed for their home. The Sophie Taeuber-Arp Candlestick Holder is made in Germany's Black Forest from solid beechwood and a glossy coat of paint in a basic Bauhaus color. A brass insert holds your candle in place. (Candle not included). It measures 7.5h x 2.25"diam. Sophie Taeuber-Arp's art is represented in MoMA's collection and was the subject of a retrospective in the Museum's 2021–22 exhibition Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction .
