Drei Kugeln

holm° is honoured to be the only store outside Sweden able to offer the exquisite candle holder Three Globes by the famous Swedish silversmith Sigurd Persson. Three Globes was originally designed and hand-forged in silver for the exhibition "Silverne Stakar" in 1963 in Sweden. You're welcome to experience this heavy weight at our store and perhaps bring home a pretty gift, which will be loved for many years to come. The candle holder comes in several versions: brass with orbs in brass or silver plated with orbs in silver, or a selection of stones, such as lapis lazuli, jade, dolerite or porphyry. Prices start at CHF 298.

Sigurd Persson was a highly gifted silversmith, sculptor and designer, with works including fine jewellery, art objects and household products as well as the Swedish five kronor coin currently in use in Sweden. This coin was introduced in 1976 and is most probably his most well known design. At the H55 exhibition in Helsingborg in 1955, during which many other famous Swedish designs were introduced, he presented the cutlery series Servus, which went on to become one of the most sold series in Sweden. Shortly afterwards, in 1959, he could also design the new cutlery for SAS, which was, due to the exiting aura that airlines had at the time, a piece of news that came to spread across the world. 

His works is represented in many museums around the world: Nationalmuseum and Nordiska museet in Stockholm, Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen, Kunstindustrimuseet in Oslo, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and Museum of Modern Art in New York
