Rare Set of 3 Gold-Tone BMF Quist 'Variomaster' Modular Candle Holders, 1970s
This fascinating set of modular candle holders is a centerpiece of West German Space Age design. Produced in the 1970s by the famous BMF and Quist manufactories (Variomaster model), these candelabras revolutionized tableware by transforming a utilitarian object into a truly interactive sculpture. While these models are already great classics of 20th-century design, this set stands out due to its gold-tone finish, which is infinitely rarer and more sought after than the usual chrome production. The strength of this creation lies in its infinite modular ingenuity. Each tripod element, with its nervous, organic, and subtly brutalist lines, is designed to interlock perfectly with the others. The three-piece set offered here allows you to create your own architectural structures, whether pyramidal, linear, or asymmetrical. The golden metal warmly catches the light, highlighting the sculpted and 'atomic' profile so characteristic of this era. Offered in good vintage condition with a patina of use that guarantees its authenticity (some micro-scratches or tiny traces of oxidation inherent to its age), this set is a true decorative gem. It will bring a sculptural, playful, and highly sophisticated touch to the center of a festive dining table or on a modernist sideboard.
