Collection: Nagel Chrome Candle Holders

Since House Tour: Richard & Robert's Orange, Purple & Green Oasis, we've been obsessed with Nagel chrome candle holders. Designed by Fritz Nagel, the mid-century modern chrome candle holders can be rearranged in many different ways - the three holes that hold candles also fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

We love how Richard and Robert reconfigure the Nagel candle holders into different candelabras throughout their home. Do you have a candle holder collection? Do you like the Nagel design?

Those are cool - were they an eBay find?

Yet another thing I want. Yet another thing I do not need.

They're all over eBay. Unfortunately although I like them, my pocketbook protests.

I've been collecting a similar type of candle holders by the same company. They are even harder to find so I don't even know a lot about them yet. I would love to find a base or find out if they fit in the bowl like the one in the picture.
