The Caravel Candlestick is a Danish-registered oak candlestick designed by Tonn-P. Tonn-P drew inspiration for the candlestick from his great love for the aesthetics of aeroplanes and ships.
Sven Erik Tonn-Petersen (1925-2004) was a self-taught Danish designer and inventor who created a wide range of designs and products in wood, plastic and metal under the name of Tonn-P. Tonn-Ps creations were characterised by a confident expression and designed to be harmonious, functional and contemporary.
As a little boy, Tonn-P often built model ships as a hobby, and one can see very clearly how the candlesticks imitate the masts and booms of medieval caravel sailing ships. Wherever a Caravel Candlestick heads out, whether on a dining table or a windowsill, its unique idiom exudes character and warmth.
