Igelboda

Igelboda begins with a simple observation: at a dinner table, the flame of a conventional candleholder can sit directly in the line of sight between guests.

Its elongated stem lifts the flame above that sightline, allowing candlelight to shape the atmosphere without disturbing conversation or obscuring the faces across the table.

The resulting height gives Igelboda an unmistakable silhouette — slender, poised and architectural — while its purpose remains entirely social.

A precise metal structure is balanced by a hand-wrapped leather grip, bringing tactile warmth and the trace of craft to the object. It is available in brass with bordeaux leather and in chrome with black leather.

Produced by Lerviks Gård Österlen, Igelboda turns a practical detail into its defining expression: a candleholder designed not simply to illuminate a table, but to preserve the connection between the people gathered around it.

Igelboda is a designer lamp by the Swedish designer Alexander Lervik, dated 2024. The work is produced by Lerviks Gård Österlen, which manufactures and distributes it, while the design originates in Lervik’s studio. In the portfolio it is listed under accessories, lighting.

Alexander Lervik is a Swedish designer whose work spans furniture, lighting, product design and collectible design.

The project belongs to a body of work that is represented in museum collections including Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo and the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, and that has been covered by international design and news media.
