Welcome to the fairy tale world of Copenhagen-born artist Bjørn Wiinblad, whose brightly coloured, detailed designs became very popular in post-war Europe. With a gentle nod to Scandinavian folk art, Wiinblad's romantic, imaginative art is now reinterpreted in this modern, functional range of ceramics fit for a new generation. The Eva Candle Holder possesses the familiar round head and vivid use of colour reminiscent of vintage Wiinblad pieces. The striking design features alternating pale lavender and bright red stripes interspersed with neat rows of circles on a creamy yellow background. The decorative floral relief details and rosy cheeks seen on the Candle Holders are a superb contemporary interpretation of Scandinavian folk art - a throwback to Wiinblad's original work. Using the artist's own drawings for the gentle facial features and even the pattern on the dress design, there is an authenticity and a nostalgia about these pieces which makes them so very likeable.
