Bjørn Wiinblad’s masterfully hand-painted hats are back
Invite the new lady with hat inside to enjoy her sophisticated company. With her beautiful colors, quirky details and hand-painted decorations, the Lady with hat series is guaranteed to bring joy to your home.
You have to take your hat off to Bjørn Wiinblad’s impressive design heritage, which is both diverse and imaginative. The new Lady with hat series lets us put our headgear back on again. Bjørn Wiinblad had a love of figurines with hats, and the archives contain countless examples of this headwear repeating itsef in new, creative and playful ways.
Bjørn Wiinblad’s hats were not small, pretty, decorative hats. On the contrary, they were large, voluminous creations that had both a sculptural and avant-garde appearance; it's only natural, then, that the headpieces in the new hand-painted Lady with hat series are too. They are hand-painted down to the smallest details – all with Bjørn Wiinblad’s quirky and artistic ornamentation, where colors and shapes are mixed and matched to create a sophisticated and cohesive expression.
Another recurring detail throughout the series is the presence of the small, figurative flowers placed along the brim of the hats. This is yet another decorative detail inspired by Bjørn Wiinblad’s original shapes and colors. The almond-shaped eyes and pointed nose is from Wiinblad’s original sketch, and the colorful dress patterns are a new interpretation of Bjørn Wiinblad’s illustrations from the archives.
Each Lady with hat figurine has its own unique personality and color palette, but still pays witness to a clear family spirit thanks to Bjørn Wiinblad’s recognizable brushstrokes. They bring beauty and joy to the room and add some color to your day – in true Bjørn Wiinblad style.
