Guides and answers
In-depth guides, one question each, and quick answers to the most common questions.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Style & material
- Scandinavian Interior Design: The Furniture That Defines It, Room by RoomScandinavian interior design is a few well-made pieces in oak, steel and wool, in wood, black and warm neutrals, with one piece you use every day at the heart of each room.
- Side Table: Height, Size and Where It GoesA side table should sit level with the arm of the sofa or chair: Affe is 23.2 in with a ø12 in top or 31.1 in with a ø15.7 in top.
- Solid Oak Furniture: Solid vs Veneer vs Oak on Steel, and Why It LastsSolid oak furniture is oak timber all the way through, so it can be sanded and kept for decades; ours is solid A-grade German oak, bought as FSC-certified timber, never veneer.
- How to Style a Coffee Table Without Turning It Into a DisplayLeave a cup landing, add at most a tray, a book and one low object, and pull the nest instead of piling the top.
- Mid-Century Modern vs Scandinavian Furniture: The Difference and How to Mix ThemMid-century is a period of teak and curves; Scandinavian a living tradition of oak and calm lines.
- 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.
6 questions
Frequently asked questions
What is in the home decor collection?
Three candle holders and a pedestal. Thomas and Vera are floor candle holders, Tom is a hurricane candle holder for the table, and Affe is a solid oak pedestal for one object.
Where is your home decor made?
In our own factory in Sweden. The candle holders are welded and powder-coated steel, and Affe is turned from solid FSC-certified oak in Malmö.
Is Affe a side table?
Closer to a plinth. Set a vase or an object on top, or place it beside an armchair for the occasional book. It is not made for dining or desk use.
How tall are the candle holders?
Thomas stands 37.4, 41.3 or 45.3 in, Vera 29.5, 33.5 or 37.4 in, and Tom 6.7, 8.1 or 9.4 in.
Which candles fit?
Thomas and Tom take pillar candles inside the glass. Vera holds a slim dinner candle. Candles are not included.
What warranty do they have?
10 years against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, in normal home use. A spare glass cylinder is sold for Thomas and Tom.
Find yours
Which piece suits your room?
Two questions to the piece that fits the place you have in mind.
Before you choose
Five things worth knowing.
Placement, height, glass or open, affe and care.
Where does each piece go?
Floor candle holders in the hall, Tom on the table, Affe beside a chair.
Put Thomas beside a sofa or a doorway, where 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. Affe stands beside an armchair or in an empty corner, with one vase or object on its round top.
How tall is each piece?
29.5 to 45.3 in on the floor, 6.7 to 9.4 in on a table.
Thomas and Vera each come in three heights that step by about 4 in, so a pair or a set of three reads as one piece. Tom comes in three heights for the table, from 6.7 to 9.4 in. A floor candle holder lifts the flame to the height of a lamp, without a cable. Affe comes in two heights: 23.2 in with an 11.8 in top, or 31.1 in with a 15.7 in top.
| 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 |
| Affe | 23.2 in, ø11.8 in | 31.1 in, ø15.7 in |
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.

What is Affe for?
A plinth for one object, turned from solid oak.
Affe is closer to a plinth than a table. It is turned from solid FSC-certified oak, sealed under a natural matte lacquer, and gives one object a place of its own. It is not made for dining or desk use. Affe is designed by Alexandra Pettersson and made in our own factory in Malmö.
How do you look after them?
Lift the glass out and wash it by hand.
The glass cylinder in Thomas and Tom 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.
