CERAMIC HOUSES
arrow_backTo the overview07 December 2023 | Ib Laursen
Who doesn’t love the beautiful Nyhavn and Thorshavn houses with their sweet little details and glossy ceramics? The houses are inspired by the harbour district of Nyhavn in Copenhagen, known for its colourful houses, each with a unique history and a slightly quirky expression, and by the colourful, timber-clad houses found in the city of Thorshavn on the Faroe Islands.
The charming ceramic houses can stand alone, placed among pots and plants, or lined up in a row to create a small neighborhood. The Nyhavn houses create a delightful atmosphere wherever they are placed, and when a lit tealight is placed inside, you can enjoy the cosy light shining through the small windows.
The small, popular ceramic houses are in line with current trends in furnishing the home with handicrafts. There is always a degree of unpredictability in glazing ceramics, and during the firing the colours come alive. This is exactly what gives the small houses a unique and original look, with small colour differences and rustic edges.
