Candlestand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Candlestand by Alvar Aalto has a round tabletop and a tall, slender stem. The stem connects to a three-legged base with curved legs. The entire piece appears to be made of dark wood and has a worn appearance. The tabletop is flat and circular. The stem is long and narrow, tapering as it approaches the base. The three legs of the base are curved and tapered. The background is white with some handwritten text.
