KÄHLER – ARTISTIC CERAMICS THROUGH GENERATIONS
Since the founding in 1839, Kähler has been presented at exhibitions and museums around the world, and Kähler is an internationally recognized ceramics company with a strong artistic heritage.
100 years ago, respected artists as Thorvald Bindesbøll, Svend Hammershøi and Kai Nielsen explored ceramics at Kähler – today among others Louise Campbell, 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.

BOWL H 200 MM
DESIGN CLAYDIES – KAREN KJÆLDGÅRD-LARSEN & TINE BROKSØ
With 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 on the contemporary Danish ceramics scene.
The ’Hairstyle bowls’ concept has absorbed Claydies for a number of years and originates 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 quiet and harmless ceramics. We want to turn things upside down and contribute to a new perception of what ceramics are and can do.”

In recent years, Claydies have made their mark on the new and experi-mental generation of young Danish ceramicists.
Claydies work conceptually with ceramics on the basis of a set of dogma rules which engage in a showdown with ‘quiet and harm- less’ ceramics.
CERAMIC HAUTE COUTUREThe doubleness of the Primadonna objects is also reflected in the tension between the provocative and the historically rooted designs. The bowls want to provoke, but at 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, modern exponents of the Kähler tradition for artistic freedom.
The Claydies ceramicists have received a number of grants for their conceptual approach to ceramic craftsmanship, including from the Government Art Fund, the Ministry of Culture Development Fund and the New Carlsberg Foundation.

DESIGN LOUISE CAMPBELL
In Fiducia, Louise Campbell has created a fusion of vase and candlestick in an innovative and experimental form that provides for a wide range of combinations. Louise Campbell fabulates about the bonds and connections that make up relations between people. Fiducia is Italian for trust and the word has with its beautiful sound and strong symbolic significance been an inspiration for the design.
Fiducia is a series of combination vases and candlesticks that are strong in expression – without being fussy. The vases and candlesticks cannot stand alone but belong together, as a family.
READERS FAVOURITE
Fiducia won ‘Boligmagasinets’ big Design Award in the readers favourite-category.

KÄHLER PLACED DANISH ART ON THE WORLD MAP
Herman August Kähler was the Kähler who placed Kähler on the world map. In the portrait, painted by L.A. Ring, Kähler sits in his workshop and forms the smooth surfaces, glazes could play on. Herman August got his breakthrough at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889, where he caused a stir with a vase completely dipped in a red, shiny metallic luster glazer which was normally only used for decoration. Alongside the HAK signature, the luster glaze became the Kähler trademark.

KÄHLER BY KRØYER
In its time, the Kähler workshop attracted recognized artists and turned Næstved into an artist colony similar to that at Skagen. In 1905, P.S. Krøyer painted his friend Herman August Kähler while he conjured forms from the clay at his potter’s wheel.
There were several parallels to the artist colony in Skagen, where art and love became united. Bonds between several of the flocking artists and the Kähler family were created through marriages with the Kähler daughters.

BOZZA
With more than twenty years’ experience as a ceramicist, including a number of years at Kähler, Søren Thygesen is experienced at his craft.
DESIGN SØREN THYGESEN
Bozza – a sensuous design that bubbles with joy. The Bozza bowl design is made extra decorative with the use of semi-transparent glazes of different new colours such as dove blue, eggshell white and khaki green. The design of the bowl’s base gives the bowl lightness and lifts it from the surface as a powerful contrast to the pottery’s weight.

KÄHLER JARS BEFORE AND NOW
The World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893 was the first overseas exhibition Kähler participated in. Outlets were established in different parts of the United States, and in New York, Kähler pottery was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The initials, HAK, became a quality stamp, which attracted prominent people. Several European royal houses bought Kähler pottery. The presence on the international art and crafts scene, alongside world renowned artists, elevated Kähler’s production from a sales success to recognized art.

BOTTINODESIGN AGNES FRIES
Bottino is masculine with a twist. The ambition behind the series is to make pottery for women – and men! Bottino is inspired by the classic fishing float which apart from belonging to a distinctly masculine universe also holds great beauty in its geometric shapes and decorations. Agnes Fries (1979) trained in
ceramics and glass at The Danish Design School, graduating in 2005.She has reaped great praise both at home and abroad for her functional pottery crafts and in 2006, she received a travel grant from the Ministry of Culture. She is a member of the designers group, F6, who are behind various exhibitions.
Agnes Fries was attached with Kähler in 2008.

THE PAINTING LADY WITH THE HORNS
Signe Steffensen was a painting lady at Kähler until 1934. With liquid clay colour in the cow horn, she decorated the outside of the pottery, giving every piece its own expression. A sales success was in the bag!
With Bottino, Agnes Fries interprets the fishing float’s forms and decorations. The richness of colours and expressions in the hand-painted vase series appeal to both him and her.

SPIRO
CUP H 100 MM
DESIGN HELLE RITTIG
The sensuous pleasure of steaming hot drinks and a firm grip on design are incorporated into Kähler’s new vacuum cup. Moreover, Spiro pays homage to the beauty of shells. The ingenuity is most immediately apparent in Spiro’s spiral design, whose form took inspiration from the powerful, yet delicate appearance of shells. Like the snail shell, Spiro is modelled around an outer shell, whose insulating effect protects and keeps the contents warm, thus achieving complete harmony between the shape and function of the vacuum cup.
A distinct Kähler feature is the transparent glaze, saturated and rich, and the colours of Spiro are intense and inviting.
Helle Rittig graduated from the School of Decorative Art in 1985, and today, she operates her own ceramics studio.
Here she works with design of articles for everyday use, which in Helle Rittig’s interpretation are beautiful and sensuous in all their functional simplicity.

SPAZIO
Bjørn Poulsen (1959) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1988.
He has had exhibitions at Funen Art Museum, Clausen’s Art Gallery as well as a great deal of established galleries in Copenhagen and Sweden.
DESIGN BJØRN POULSEN
Sculptor Bjørn Poulsen has shaped the fruit bowl Spazio with both the functional and sculptural in mind. With a tight expression and small breathing holes for the fruit, Spazio is a breath of fresh air for your dining table – an artistic accomplishment, even when the bowl is empty.

KÄHLER AND THE EIFFEL TOWER HONOURED SAME YEAR
Kähler have always experimented with glazes. The red luster glaze was in 1889 honoured with a medal at the World Exhibition in Paris – the same year the Eiffel Tower was built as a tribute to the 100-year anniversary of the French Revolution.
Bjørn Poulsen has designed and shaped the fruit bowl, Spazio. He has lined it with contemporary glazes that highlight a piece where functionality and sculpture form a synthesis.

A MASTER IN DIFFICULT CERAMICS
Svend Hammershøi started in the Kähler workshop in 1904, where he worked for decades. He was one of the few artists who also had sharp sense of ceramic crafts. Hammershøi modelled the characteristic profiles onto the pottery as a final touch. Horizontal and vertical lines were his trademarks.
As a tribute to the pottery’s demands for sublime crafts work, Reckweg and Nordentoft has created a contemporary interpretation of the classic vase form and added raw stripes of coarse brush strokes.

DESIGN JEANETTE LIST AMSTRUP
Jeanette List Amstrup originally created Bulbino as a one-of-a-kinddesign for one single flower. Not two vases were identical in shapeor colour, and together the vases transformed into a vivid sculpturewhich drifted your mind to waving flowery meadows.
Bulbino’s curved, ascending shapes differ depending on which waythe vase is turned, and one single flower is enough to make a home, adinner table or a special scenario cheerful and full of life.

When Jeanette List Amstrup lets her intuition inspire her work, the shape emerges as a natural part of the process. Mano is no exception. Arisen from the natural and undisturbed, she has designed both cup and bowl, which in their simplicity are unique in both design and functionality.
The series is available in 8 colours. The cups are available in two sizes.

RARE CASTS CAPTURED THE DANES
Together with artist Kai Nielsen, Niels Kähler series-produced art for many Danish homes in the 1930s. Kai Nielsen also captured – and outraged – the U.S. with his naked figures in plain-coloured glazes.
He had the notion that his art should reach the people and not just decorate museums and public buildings. So he made smaller versions of his large sculptures.

A long life with ceramics has taught Søren Thygesen to use the material to its full potential. With its winding curves and playful expressions, Vitino is a study in classic Kähler aesthetics with lines deciding the direction of the stalk of each flower. The different profiles give each vase its own distinctive personality; common to them all, however, is the vigorous movement with the centre as an elegant pivotal point.

ART AND FUNCTIONALITY UNITED IN CLASSIC FORMS
Herman Joachim Kähler, the first Kähler, started his small cera-mics workshop in Næstved in 1839 with the production of dairy dishes, pickle pots and baking moulds. The second generation of Kähler added art objects to the collection, and in the 1930s, the third generation of Kähler united the purposes of previous generations: functionality and art.
Functional items such as coffee and tea sets, plates and dishes are given beautiful, artistic forms. A tradition is founded. Kähler’s workshop, interior.
