An iconic example of European modernist design.
These sculptural, modular candlesticks were designed by Fritz Nagel and produced by BMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) in Germany in the late 1960s–1970s.
Crafted in chromed metal, the design is defined by spherical candle cups and elegant, bridge-like connectors, allowing the elements to be arranged freely into architectural compositions. Both functional and sculptural, the system invites personal interpretation and change.
The pieces show a beautiful, authentic patina consistent with age and use, highly appreciated by collectors and true to the spirit of the design.

Collector’s Note
Fritz Nagel’s modular candlesticks are among the most sought-after metal designs of the post-war period. Their appeal lies in the balance between strict geometry and poetic flexibility — each configuration becomes a unique, personal sculpture. Original sets with natural patina are increasingly rare and valued among collectors of European modernism.
