Glass for candlesticks

Choose glass according to light expression and color

When choosing glass for candlesticks, both color and surface are important for how the light is experienced. Clear glass provides a clean and direct light where the flame is clearly visible. Frosted glass dims the light and creates a softer look that can be well suited to restaurants, hotels and quiet table settings.

Colored glass can be used to give the table setting more character. Red glass creates a warm and distinctive look, while gray, black, blue and lime can be used for more modern or seasonal settings.

Consider, among other things:

• Whether the light should be bright and visible or more subdued
• Whether the glass should match the rest of the table setting
• Whether the color should be used permanently or changed according to the season
• Whether the glass will be used in a restaurant, hotel, event space or home
• Whether you want the same glass on all tables or variation between zones

When the glass is chosen consciously, it becomes not only a practical part of the candlestick, but also part of the overall expression.

Find the right glass for your stage

Clear glass or frosted glass?

The choice between clear and frosted glass depends on how visible you want the light to be. Clear glass highlights the flame and provides a more direct light. It is well suited for simple table settings where the light should stand out clearly.

Frosted glass provides a more subdued and diffused light. This can be an advantage in restaurants, cafes and hotels, where the lighting needs to be pleasant and not too bright. Frosted glass can also give the table a more calm and unified look.

If the glasses are to be used in larger rooms, it may be a good idea to choose the same type of glass across the tables. This creates a sense of calm in the interior and makes it easier to maintain a uniform look.

“The glass changes the entire experience of the light. The same oil candle can appear more direct, soft or decorative depending on which glass you choose.”

Colored glass for season and decor

Colored glass can be used when the table lighting should play a more prominent role in the interior design. Red glass can provide warmth for winter, Christmas or romantic dinners. Gray and black glass are well suited to modern restaurants and hotels, where the expression should be more subdued.

Blue and lime glass can be used for special themes, events or seasonal displays where the color is needed to create variation. This makes it possible to change the mood of the room without changing the entire candle or light.

For professional customers, colored glasses can be a practical way to customize the table setting for the season, campaign or event.

Replace glass and keep the same base

One of the advantages of glass for candle holders is that you can change the look without replacing the entire lighting solution. If you already have bases, new glass can give your table setting a different look with just a few changes.

This is especially relevant for restaurants, hotels and events, where the same base can be used year-round, while the glass is changed according to the season or occasion. Clear glass can be used for the everyday look, while colored or frosted glass can be used for special occasions.

This way, the candlestick becomes more flexible, and it becomes easier to renew the table lighting without starting over.

Glass for professional table lighting

In restaurants, hotels and cafes, glassware for candlesticks must be both beautiful and practical. They must be able to be moved, cleaned and used again and again as part of the daily table setting.

When the same type of glass is used on multiple tables, the lighting in the room becomes more uniform. This gives a more professional look and makes it easier for the staff to set the table in the same way every time.

For events, glass for candlesticks can also be used to create different zones. Clear glass can be used on dining tables, while colored or frosted glass can be used in lounge areas, bars or at welcome tables.

“Many professional customers choose glass that can be used again and again. It should be easy to clean, easy to set up and fit the look the place wants.”
