Manikhin Cards and Candlesticks
In response to the idea that the world is too serious and short of humor, Roma Manikhin gives us a dose of satire with its sassy deck of playing cards and its provocative candlesticks created for the Normann x Brask Art Collection.
A burlesque circus of 54 seductive acts adorns the playing cards, inspired by burlesque shows, sailor tattoos, erotic postcards and a late-18th-century atmosphere. Although the cards provide us with an unpleasant reminder of the stereotypical sexual representations of women, we cannot help but smile when we are presented with this bizarre and seductive world.
Tapping into the styles of 20th century Italian design, Manikhin's two candlesticks for the collection emerge as three-dimensional representations of his artistic universe. One depicts a female head, her plump lips holding the candle in its place, while the other is a completely naked figure, which balances a total of three candles on both the hands and the head. The pieces are made of hand-painted concrete and untreated resin respectively; their voluptuous designs are loaded with humor and sexual desire.

History of the designer
Jan Andersen and Poul Madsen founded the brand Normann Copenhagen in 1999. Since the first product, the Norm 69 lamp, Normann Copenhagen has sought to challenge conventional design norms. This is evident, for example, in the use of traditional materials in a new, non-traditional way.
Currently, Normann Copenhagen boasts dozens of different products in its collection and collaborates with renowned designers and young talents.
