Santander Tapered Lantern

Santander Lantern is a tall, tapered lantern from LoftModern Curations: a dark pewter frame that narrows to a flat top handle around a clear glass cylinder.

At 17.5 in high on a footprint of 5 in by 8 in, it stands tall and slim with a purposeful vertical line.

The Design Story

Santander is a single folded band of metal, wide at the base and narrowing toward the top into an arch that doubles as the handle. The side panels slope inward in a shape like a simplified tower. Inside, a glass cylinder rests on a dark base, with room for a pillar candle. The pewter finish is soft and dark, so the frame reads as a silhouette and the glass holds the light.

Why You’ll Love It

The handle makes it easy to carry from patio door to table, and the glass shields the flame from drafts. The tapered shape is steady on a hearth, step or floor. Lit, it casts a warm glow through the open sides.

Questions We Hear Most

What kind of candle does it hold?

The glass cylinder is made for a pillar candle. Choose one that sits below the top of the glass so the flame stays shielded.

Can I carry it by the top?

Yes. The arched top of the frame works as a handle. Let it cool fully before moving a lit lantern.

Is it suitable for outdoors?

We recommend using it on a covered, sheltered surface. Bring it inside in rain or damp weather.

How should I clean the glass?

Remove the candle and wipe the glass with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner. Wipe the frame with a dry cloth.

Why is the base wider than the top?

The wide base gives stability under a lit candle, while the narrower top creates the tapered, tower-like shape.

Why We Love It

Plain, dark and tall. Santander shapes a flame without competing with it.
