History
  • The term "Ultima Thule" evokes the idea of exploration and beauty in distant worlds, perhaps reflecting the innovative spirit of midcentury Scandinavian design, which sought to blend form and function.
  • Scandinavian design became prominent in the mid-20th century, renowned for its emphasis on minimalism and organic shapes, making such candleholders an embodiment of these timeless principles.
