This vase in simple design and corrugated shape, from Danish manufacturer Lyngby, has become one of the most iconic designs. When it was originally designed, the Lyngby vase was in stark contrast to the classical porcelain traditions. Up until the 1920’s the traditions required lots of painting, ornaments, and details – focusing more on the decoration of the porcelain rather than the porcelain shape it self. The Lyngby vase challenged this assumption – heavily influenced by the functional Bauhaus movement in Germany. The shape itself is enough. No extra ornamention or decoration needed.
When the Lyngby vase was released in the late 30´s it had a very modern and unique aesthetic. The oblong, fluted shapes and elegant simplicity was something new. The thought of simplicity, form and function slowly grew within Lyngby Porcelæn, and the world in general, although it wasn’t until the 1950’s that it was more commonly accepted – and desired.
The Lyngby vase is available in different sizes and colors. Combine it with a bouquet of flowers or just a stylish twig or even let it stand for itself. The skandianvian vase, handmade from porcelain looks always pure and elegant and is ready for changing arrangements.
