With a sharp sense of contemporary Functionalist style and a nod to the

geometric shapes of the German design school Bauhaus, Mogens Lassen

designed the iconic Kubus candleholder in 1962, an object then reserved for

family and close architect colleagues. The now expanded Kubus collection,

partly designed by Mogens, partly by his grandson, Søren Lassen, is still crafted

in Denmark and it has achieved the status of a modern international icon.

Mogens Lassen’s love for vigorous mathematical proportions and expressions

is the red thread in this epochal collection. Never in production when first

designed, the architect’s grandson took it to heart to begin producing the

candlestick in 1994 and still does so today.

Since then several new family members to supplement the series have been

launched and now consists of Kubus 1, Line, Kubus 4, Kubus 8, Kubus T, Kubus

Bowl Mini, Kubus Bowl Small, Kubus Bowl Large, Kubus Bowl Centerpiece

Small, Kubus Bowl Centerpiece Large, Kubus Vase Lolo, Kubus Vase Lily and

Kubus Vase Flora as well as accessories to the Kubus collection.

The candleholders are easy to clean: Place it in the oven at 75 degrees celsius

upside down on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes and follow by polishing

with a moistened cloth. Every bowl comes with an inlay making it suitable for

food or plants.
