About This Piece

Vintage Design

Beautiful pair of unique stoneware pendants in white and brown glazing handmade in Denmark in the 1960s. Attributed to Søholm Stentøj at the island of Bornholm, Denmark. The Søholm Pottery on the small island of Bornholm in Denmark was established in 1836 and closed in 1996. They were one of Denmarks finest ceramics workshops. with traditional names such as "Søholm", "Michael Andersen" and "Hjorth's Keramik", Bornholm has managed to place itself heavily on the Danish map within ceramics and handicrafts. Just like Japanese ceramics, Bornholm ceramics are characterized by a very high quality – and has been ever since the early 1800s, when the first ceramics and terracotta factories were established on the island. In many Danish homes today there are still ceramic mugs, plates and other useful and art objects made on Bornholm. While Hans J. Wegner, Kaare Klint and Finn Juhl led the way for the success of Denmarks dominance at the field of modern furniture production Danish arts and crafts was also flourishing. The most well-known names are probably Silversmith George Jensen, Ceramist Axel Salto and Woodworker Kay Bojesen, but despite Denmark's modest size, there were a multitude of small workshops with arts and crafts that produced high-quality objects to everyday life. Much of it was sold directly from the workshops, but also more established shops such as "Den Permanente" and "Illums Bolighus" in Copenhagen exhibited and sold works from these workshops in the 1940-70s.

About the Creator

Kaare Klint

Born in Frederiksberg, Denmark in 1888, architect, designer, and educator Kaare Klint formally trained as a painter at private art schools before going on to study architecture under his father, architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint, and Carl Petersen. In 1914, Petersen invited the younger Klint to assist in the design of furniture and fixtures for the Faaborg Museum. Klint opened his own office in 1920, and continued to work for museums for the next two decades, designing furniture for both the Danish Museum of Decorative Art and the Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen.

Klint helped found the Furniture School at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1923, where he was appointed the first associate professor in furniture design in 1924. Through this position, he inspired several prominent Danish furniture designers, including Poul Kjærholm and Børge Mogensen, who went on to facilitate the international progression of Danish midcentury modernism.

Klint’s work was characterized by high craftsmanship, functionalism, and a love of fine wood. His work was research-driven and placed strong emphasis on a thorough understanding of classical furniture—as well as the evolution of furniture forms—as the basis for new designs, and he endeavored to pass this approach on to his students. Notable projects include the Faaburg Chair (1914), the Propeller Stool and Red Chair (both 1927), the Safari Chair and Deck Chair (both 1933), and Grundtvig’s Church in Copenhagen. The church was originally Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint’s commission, and its construction had begun in 1921; after his father’s death in 1930, Kaare Klint took over, ultimately completing the project in 1940.

Klint was awarded the title of Honorary Royal Designer for Industry in London in 1949 and the C.F. Hansen Medal from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1954. His work is included in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; Designmuseum Danmark and the Faaborg Museum in Copenhagen; the Israel Museum in Jerusalem; and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, among others.

Klint died in Copenhagen in 1954.
