Christmas Tree

A Christmas tree that prefers candles to needles

The PHILIPPI GRENOBLE Christmas Tree gives the familiar silhouette of a fir tree a surprisingly clean new interpretation. Instead of pine needles, there is polished stainless steel; instead of fairy lights, real candlelight – and thankfully, no needles to sweep up afterwards. Measuring 26 cm high with a footprint of approximately 25 x 25 cm, this silver-coloured candle holder has enough presence for a festive table while retaining beautifully balanced proportions. Designed by Flip, its sweeping graphic layers reinterpret the branches of a Christmas tree and provide space for up to nine candles. Their flames are reflected across the polished surface, allowing the stainless steel to catch and play with the light from every angle. The result is modern Christmas decoration with the character of a small light sculpture, equally at home on a dining table, sideboard or windowsill. At 0.90 kg, GRENOBLE has a reassuringly substantial feel and remains a sculptural festive object even without candles. The PHILIPPI Christmas Tree is made from stainless steel in India.

Nine little flames, quite a lot of atmosphere

GRENOBLE combines the tradition of an illuminated Christmas tree with a modern, pared-back design language. Up to nine candles are arranged across its different levels, creating a lively interplay of light, shadow and reflections. This is particularly appealing on a Christmas dining table: the candle holder introduces height and atmosphere without visually taking over the entire setting. It works just as naturally as a glowing centrepiece on a sideboard or as part of a festive window display. Silver and polished stainless steel are wonderfully easy to combine with winter whites, deep greens, warm woods, glass or richer seasonal colours. GRENOBLE can therefore offer a contemporary alternative to a traditional Advent wreath while remaining the kind of Christmas decoration that does not feel dated after a single season. PHILIPPI recommends the piece for dining tables, sideboards and windowsills and specifies capacity for up to nine candles.

A little Hamburg spirit with a rather international outlook

For many years, PHILIPPI has been creating home accessories, gifts and everyday objects with a distinctive approach to design. The owner-managed design company based near Hamburg has grown into an internationally recognised brand, particularly associated with timeless forms and its characteristic use of stainless steel. GRENOBLE fits naturally into this philosophy. Rather than adding more ornament to Christmas, the design concentrates on shape, material and light. PHILIPPI specifies polished stainless steel, dimensions of 25 x 25 x 26 cm and a weight of 900 g for the candle holder. It is an approach that feels very much at home at LIVOSY too: objects can have presence without needing to shout for attention. And a decoration you look forward to bringing out year after year makes far more sense for considered interiors than something designed for a fleeting seasonal trend.

Christmas may end. This one needn't disappear immediately.

On a festive dining table, the silver PHILIPPI Christmas Tree pairs beautifully with clear glassware, white porcelain, natural textiles and further metallic accents. For a richer Christmas setting, combine GRENOBLE with bowls, lanterns and hanging decorations; for something quieter, candlelight, evergreen branches and a handful of carefully chosen pieces are more than enough. Other PHILIPPI Christmas accessories, from Advent wreaths and decorative trees to reindeer, continue the brand's modern interpretation of familiar winter motifs. Home accessories such as the LOTUS, MANHATTAN or MESH bowls can carry the look beyond the festive season, alongside clean-lined glass and bar accessories. And because GRENOBLE remains a graphic little sculpture even when the candles are not lit, there is no urgent need to pack it away on the first free day in January. A Christmas candle holder for anyone who loves festive light but prefers their decoration with a clear point of view.
