EVA
Eva is a series of vases, flowerpots, candlesticks and mugs from Bjørn Wiinblad, which, with their own look, colour and physical size, support our modern curated interior design style, and make this style ultra-personal, regardless of where Eva is placed. Bjørn Wiinblad created a myriad of women’s faces, which he used in his various designs. But he often returned to one specific female motif: Eva.
The Eva series is a reinterpretation of Bjørn Wiinblad’s original vases with their characteristic smiling woman’s face that he himself called Eva. The face with the almond-shaped eyes and pointed nose is Wiinblad’s original design, and the colourful dress patterns are an interpretation of Bjørn Wiinblad’s archived illustrations. The range is made from glossy-glazed porcelain with colourful patterns and floral reliefs. With her cheerful smile, blushing cheeks, and colourful decorations, Eva embodies the essence of Bjørn Wiinblad as a person and artist – whether in the shape of a vase, candlestick or flower pot.
Use the flowerpot to display herbs, trendy succulents, small plants, or flower arrangements. The vases in different sizes are almost guaranteed to let adventure in and bring joy into your home, with the most beautiful presentation of bouquets or just a single large flower. The candlesticks are 9.5 cm tall, are available in three different colours, and can be used for both taper candles or tealights.
Each mug has its own unique personality and colour palette, but there is still a clear look within the range of vases, candlesticks, and flowerpots – which is Bjørn Wiinblad's central and recognisable design. They all decorate and spark joy on the table or shelf, where they add light and make everyday life and parties a little more colourful – just as Bjørn Wiinblad intended.

BJØRN WIINBLAD
Bjørn Wiinblad was one of Denmark's most talented artists, and became world famous for his imaginative drawings and decorations filled with romantic girls, legendary figures, and wonderful patterns. But before he could unleash himself as an artist, he had to attend the Technical College in Frederiksberg from 1936 to 1939, and also held an apprenticeship as a typographer during the same period.
He had told his father that he wanted to be an artist, but his father insisted that he first pursue an education that would ensure him a fixed monthly salary. Bjørn Wiinblad therefore began his studies in typography in 1935 and, although he understood the sense in learning proper craftsmanship, he did not fit into the typography environment particularly well.
However, in 1940, Wiinblad became a newly qualified typographer, and had he followed the usual path, he would soon have found himself a job as a printer or compositor at a newspaper. But Bjørn Wiinblad wasn't someone who followed the beaten track. Naturally, he also couldn't let go of the idea of working within art – and preferably as an illustrator. Therefore, that same year, he began studying at the graphics college at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, under Professor Aksel Jørgensen. Here, Bjørn Wiinblad initially embraced his professor’s stringent graphical style.
