H.C. Hus Bjørn Wiinblad design of Klods Hans
Set of three to serve Sardines on. Bjørn Wiinblad loved women: wild, fascinating ones, so much that many of his designs focus on them.
He was a Danish painter and ceramic artist who became internationally known. Masterpieces of his work can be found at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London as well as the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Not a very Danish style, some would claim, with his designs dominated by wavy lines, bright colours, elegant doodles and buxom shapes. He taught himself a variety of ceramic techniques, and from there, he expanded his vigorous talent for creation, and delight in art, to encompass a variety of platforms: tapestries, furnishing designs for hotels, grill tables, cutlery, porcelain and matching glassware, fabrics, posters and more.
In Denmark, you can visit his home and atelier at the Blue House in Lyngby, north of Copenhagen, or find his works at the Design Museum in Copenhagen. He died in 2006 at the age of 86. Ironically, in the 60s and 70s, his statues, vases and plates could be found in almost every Danish home, only to come out of fashion and hidden away in later years. Today a younger generation pay high prices to get hold of their mothers’ and grandmothers’ old pieces.
