Hurricane Lantern – Rattan, Metal, Brown
Product description
This large hurricane lantern (Windlicht) is a brown rattan and metal candle holder with a clear glass insert, designed to shield the flame from drafts while keeping the light soft and steady. With its generous Ø 34 x 21 cm size, it works as a practical indoor lantern for pillar candles and larger tealights, and the integrated metal handle makes it easy to move from table to shelf or from the living room to the balcony.
The design combines a rounded, open rattan frame with a dark metal top ring and base. Inside, a cylindrical glass holder keeps the candle centred and helps protect surrounding surfaces from heat and soot. The spacing of the rattan slats lets the candlelight through in a calm pattern while still providing structure and stability—useful when you want the warmth of real candlelight without the flicker you often get in a draught.
Natural rattan brings a warm, tactile surface that suits Scandinavian interiors where wood tones, linen textiles, and muted colours are preferred. The contrast between the organic weave and the blackened metal details keeps the look clean and grounded, making this lantern easy to combine with ceramics, oak, stone, and glass.

Why this product stands out
Many candle holders look good but are hard to live with—flames dance in a breeze, wax drips onto surfaces, and moving them feels risky. This hurricane lantern is built around everyday use: the glass cylinder helps contain the flame and makes lighting and extinguishing simpler, while the larger diameter provides a stable footprint. The handle is more than a detail; it allows you to reposition the lantern safely when the candle is not lit, which is especially practical in homes where styling changes with the season.
How it works in the home
Place it on a dining table as a low, wide centrepiece that doesn’t block sightlines. On a hallway console, it gives a welcoming glow without taking up much height. In the living room, it sits well next to a sofa or beneath a shelf where you want warm light in the evenings. It also works on a covered terrace or balcony where the glass insert helps reduce flicker from light wind—always use on a stable, heat-resistant surface and never leave a burning candle unattended.

A tasteful gift idea
