Candle holders that bring evening light to the hall and the table
Candlelight changes a room after dark: a tall flame in the hall, a pair beside the sofa, a row along the dining table. Our candle holders are welded and powder-coated in our own factory in Sweden. Thomas and Vera stand on the floor at 29.5 to 45.3 in, and Tom, a hurricane lantern for the table, at 6.7 to 9.4 in. Each carries a 10-year warranty.

Guides and answers
In-depth guides, one question each, and quick answers to the most common questions.
- Floor Candle Holder: Heights, Safety and PlacementUse a floor candle holder with glass, like Thomas, near a sofa, and an open-flame one, like Vera, in a quiet hall or by a fireplace.
- Hurricane Candle Holder or Candle Lantern: SizesA hurricane candle holder shields the flame in glass: Tom is 6.7, 8 or 9.4 in tall and 4.1 in across.
- Taper Candle Holder: Floor Height, the Right Candle and Open-Flame SafetyA floor taper candle holder like Vera holds a slim dinner candle at 29.5, 33.5 or 37.4 in on a stone base; give the open flame a still place away from curtains and never leave it unattended.
- Which Candle for Which Holder: Pillar Sizes, Burn Time, LED and the Glass GapA glass candle holder takes a pillar with air around it, up to ø9 x 6 in in Thomas and ø9 x 4.3 in in Tom; a taper holder like Vera takes a slim dinner candle.

Glass & care
- How to Remove Wax From a Glass Candle HolderTo remove wax from a glass candle holder, freeze it for an hour or two, push the wax out, then wash off the film with warm soapy water.
- Candle Holder Types and How to Choose One: Floor, Table, Taper, HurricaneCandle holder types differ by the candle they take, taper, pillar or tealight, and by whether the flame sits in glass or open; choose by where the light will stand.
- Christmas Table and Winter Candlelight: Floor Lanterns and a Table You Can Still Eat AtKeep a Christmas table low, with candles in glass under about 12 in, and put the tall candlelight on the floor beside it; four Tom in a row make an advent row.
- Hygge at Home: Candlelight, Solid Wood and a Chair to Read InHygge at home comes from low candlelight in several places, solid wood you can touch and one chair you can read in for an hour.
- Outdoor Lanterns: Candle Lanterns for the Garden, the Terrace and the Outdoor Dining TableAn outdoor candle lantern needs glass around the flame, a flat, hard surface and a still evening: Tom low on the table, Thomas beside a lounge chair, and both brought in for rain.
8 questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the best height for a floor candle holder?
Between 29.5 and 45.3 in. Vera stands 29.5, 33.5 or 37.4 in and Thomas 37.4, 41.3 or 45.3 in, which lifts the flame to the height of a lamp beside a sofa or in a hall.
Are floor candle holders safe?
Thomas holds the candle inside a glass cylinder that shields the flame. Vera is an open flame, so keep it away from curtains and draughts. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
What candle fits in your candle holders?
Thomas takes a pillar candle up to 3.5 in across and 5.9 in tall. Tom takes a pillar candle inside its glass. Vera holds a slim dinner candle upright in a crown. Candles are not included.
Can I buy a single candle holder or a set?
Both. Thomas, Vera and Tom are each sold on their own in three heights, as a set of two or as a set of three. Every set of two pairs the tallest and the shortest.
What is Vera's base made of?
Caesarstone, an engineered quartz stone, in Turbin Grey or Moorland Fog. It gives the slim steel stem a steady footing and wipes clean with a damp cloth.
How do I clean the glass?
Lift the glass cylinder out and wash it by hand to remove wax and soot. Wipe the steel with a damp cloth and mild soap. A spare glass is sold for Thomas and Tom.
Which colors do they come in?
Thomas and Tom come in black, beige, white or taupe. Vera has a black or beige frame on Turbin Grey or Moorland Fog stone. Every frame is powder-coated in our own factory in Sweden.
Can I use them outdoors?
No. Thomas, Vera and Tom are made for indoor rooms, not for weather.
Find your holder
Which candle holder suits your room?
Three questions to the holder and the set that fit the place you have in mind.
Before you choose
Five things worth knowing.
Height, placement, glass or open, candles and care.
How tall should a candle holder be?
29.5 to 45.3 in on the floor, 6.7 to 9.4 in on a table.
A floor candle holder lifts the flame to the height of a lamp, without a cable. Each model comes in three heights that step by 3.9 in, so a set of two or three reads as one piece. On a dining table or a windowsill, Tom keeps the light low.
| Model | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thomas | 37.4 in | 41.3 in | 45.3 in |
| Vera | 29.5 in | 33.5 in | 37.4 in |
| Tom | 6.7 in | 8.1 in | 9.4 in |
Where does a floor candle holder go?
In the hall, by the sofa, beside the fireplace.
Put Thomas beside a sofa or a doorway: the glass shields the flame. Give Vera a hall or a fireplace corner, clear of curtains and draughts. Tom belongs on a dining table, a sideboard or a windowsill. Three in one corner give more atmosphere than three spread around the room.
A flame in glass, or an open flame?
Glass for the living room. An open flame for a quiet corner.
Glass keeps the flame steady by an open window or a doorway and catches the drips. An open flame gives the slim look of a tall dinner candle, but it needs space around it. Whichever you choose, never leave a candle burning unattended.
- In glass
- Thomas, TomPillar candle
- Open flame
- VeraSlim dinner candle
Which candle fits?
Pillar candles in Thomas and Tom. Dinner candles in Vera.
Thomas and Tom take pillar candles that stand inside the glass. Vera holds a slim dinner candle upright in a crown at the top, never a pillar candle. Candles are not included, so you choose your own.
How do you clean the glass?
Lift the glass out and wash it by hand.
The glass cylinder lifts out, so wax and soot wash off by hand; the guide shows how to lift old wax. Neither the steel nor the Caesarstone base needs oil or polish. If a glass breaks, a spare is sold for Thomas and Tom.
