Danish Royal Porcelain 1775-2000 - 225 Years of Design
The
Post-War Years - Functionalism and Sensitivity
Scandinavian
Design' is the name given to a 15-year period from the early
1950s onwards, during which a Nordic design movement swept
across Europe and America. The term 'Danish
Modern' comes from the same movement and time and it
describes what was distinctive about Danish design in that
period.
Artists'
workshops at both The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory
and Bing & Grondahl became the centers of a rich artistic
development within the field of ceramics. The free
experiments resulted in unique items, limited series or
regular mass production.
The artists Axel Salto and Gertrud Vasegaard, who worked for
the two factories, were leading figures in the international
breakthrough of Danish ceramics of the 'Danish Modern' period.
