烛台 by Philip Johnson, 1935-1942

Long before he built his iconic Glass House, Philip Johnson was busy sketching sleek, modernist objects like this candlestick design. The image presents a precise technical drawing—complete with a side elevation showing a curious hook-like handle and a top-down plan view—revealing a geometric, almost industrial aesthetic. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a design legend, showing how he applied architectural rigor to everyday items. Created during his early career when he was directing the architecture department at MoMA, this piece highlights his obsession with functional, streamlined forms.
