KÄHLER COLLECTION 03 52KÄHLER – ARTISTICCERAMICS THROUGHGENERATIONSSince the founding in 1839, Kähler has been presented at exhibitions andmuseums around the world, and Kähler is an internationally recognizedceramics company with a strong artistic heritage.100 years ago, respected artists as Thorvald Bindesbøll, Svend Hammershøiand Kai Nielsen explored ceramics at Kähler – today among others LouiseCampbell, Cecilie Manz and Jeanette List Amstrup carry on the tradition– with the ambition of bringing art to the people.Kähler honors art. Then. And now.


KÄHLER COLLECTION 05 52PRIMADONNADESIGN CLAYDIES – KAREN KJÆLDGÅRD-LARSEN & TINE BROKSØWith Primadonna, Kähler cements its century-long tradition for art ceramics.Behind the new objects stand the ceramicists Tine Broksø and Karen Kjældgård-Larsen, or Claydies, who have created some of the most acclaimed designs onthe contemporary Danish ceramics scene.The ’Hairstyle bowls’ concept has absorbed Claydies for a number of years andoriginates in a desire to rank the ceramics craft along with the art of tailoring.Karen Kjældgård-Larsen says: ”The Hairstyle bowls are a showdown with quietand harmless ceramics. We want to turn things upside down and contribute toa new perception of what ceramics are and can do.”BOWL H 200 MM

KÄHLER COLLECTION 07 52CERAMICHAUTE COUTUREThe doubleness of the Primadonna objects is also reflected in the tension betweenthe provocative and the historically rooted designs. The bowls want to provoke, butat the same time they call to mind the Danish art nouveau tradition with their curly‘locks’ and organic silhouettes.Claydies’ unique Hairstyle bowls are typical Kähler style and are strong, modernexponents of the Kähler tradition for artistic freedom.The Claydies ceramicists have received a number of grants for their conceptualapproach to ceramic craftsmanship, including from the Government Art Fund, theMinistry of Culture Development Fund and the New Carlsberg Foundation.In recent years, Claydies have madetheir mark on the new and experimentalgeneration of young Danishceramicists.Claydies work conceptually withceramics on the basis of a set ofdogma rules which engage in ashowdown with ‘quiet and harmless’ceramics.
