Ulf Larsson and Lars Åkesson first met in 1961 when they were employed in the same industry. They would work together for many years before coming up with the idea of creating a brass candlestick together in 1980.
 
Initially conceived as a gift, the candlestick became the beginning of a long-lasting collaboration, as it sparked the creativity of both workshop workers.
