DESIGN Inger Mehlum
Sirio
A shining star in a stringent design Inger Mehlum’s experienced craftsmanship and fascination with the special characteristics of porcelain enable her to exploit the possibilities it offers in the Sirio series. The candle holders are shaped as seven-pointed stars in a simple contemporary form language. Inger Mehlum chose to make the candle holders out of porcelain, because the transparency of the material allows the entire candle holder to light up when the candle is lit. The effect is highly decorative and creates a delightful ambience as the daylight fades and the star shines with its full brightness.
Obviously, the star motif makes the candle holders especially suitable at Christmas time, but with their timeless form language, they are appropriate all year round. By arranging several candle holders together you can create your own constellation or add a personal touch to a grouping of stars.
Inge Mehlum is trained at the Danish “Designskolen Kolding” from 1974 – 1978 and has run her own ceramics workshop since 1989. Besides from making applied art, she creates large handmade pots with a sculptural expression.
