A pair of Danish teak candlesticks designed for Laurids Lønborg (Denmark), crafted in the 1960s. Their tall, conical silhouette, crowned by a minimal and perfectly proportioned cup, expresses the essence of Danish modernism: pure lines, visual lightness, and an impeccable balance between form and function.
Carved from solid teak, they present a warm surface with soft grain and a satin finish that captures light with discretion. The form—narrow in profile, ascending, almost sculptural—is designed to elevate the flame and create a serene vertical presence.

Story
About the Brand: Laurids Lønborg
Laurids Lønborg (Lønborg Denmark) was a Danish firm active during the 1950s and 1960s, recognized for its combination of modern design, careful craftsmanship, and noble materials. Although celebrated for its production in metal, wood, and ceramics, the house particularly stood out for decorative objects with clean lines and impeccable proportions.
In their teak pieces, the brand explored a more sober and sculptural aesthetic: gently worked surfaces, pure geometries, and absolute respect for the nobility of the material. These qualities, present in this signed pair of candlesticks, exemplify the philosophy of Danish mid-century design: functionality, material honesty, and a quiet elegance.
The firm's approach to teak—a favored material of Danish designers for its warmth, durability, and beautiful grain—resulted in pieces that were both functional and sculptural. Each object was carefully considered, with proportions refined to achieve visual harmony. The tall, tapering form of these candlesticks demonstrates this attention to detail: the gradual narrowing creates an elegant vertical line, while the flared base provides stability and the cupped top cradles the candle with precision.
These Laurids Lønborg teak candlesticks are more than functional objects—they are sculptural expressions of Danish design philosophy at its most refined. The warm glow of teak, the elegant ascending form, and the quiet presence they bring to a space embody the Nordic appreciation for natural materials and honest craftsmanship. When lit, they transform candlelight into a vertical gesture of warmth and intimacy, elevating the everyday ritual of dining into something special. This is design that ages gracefully, developing character and patina over time, connecting your home to the enduring legacy of Danish modernism. A timeless pair that will bring beauty and serenity to your table for generations to come.

Condition
The warm teak wood shows beautiful grain and the characteristic honey tones that deepen with age. Both candlesticks retain their original Lønborg Denmark stamps on the base. Minor signs of use consistent with age, adding to their authentic vintage character. No cracks or structural damage. The satin finish is well-preserved, and the pieces remain stable and functional.
As with all vintage pieces, this item may show signs of previous use and age. Any such marks are signs of authenticity, not flaws, and add to its unique character.

Care
To preserve the natural beauty of these teak candlesticks, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and clean occasionally with a slightly damp cloth, drying immediately afterward. You may apply teak oil sparingly if you wish to refresh the finish, though this is optional. Protect from direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading, and use candle holders or drip protectors to prevent wax buildup. Remove wax drips gently while still warm, or carefully scrape when cool to maintain the wood's beautiful finish.
