Bjørn Wiinblad (1918-2006) was both a potter and a painter, and was internationally famous for his works. Wiinblad's ceramics are very characteristic and are still very popular to this day.
From an early age, Bjørn Wiinblad began to show his ability to draw and create with great imagination. He started as a 17-year-old in 1935 with an internship as a typographer, but soon found out that the art world was his destiny. Then he started at the technical school in Frederiksberg from 1936-39 and finally the Art Academy in Copenhagen, graphic school from 1940-43.
During his lifetime, Bjørn Wiinblad greatly influenced art and design with his works made to create joy. It was especially after 1957 that BW's career really took off thanks to his collaboration with Rosenthal and their series of plates.
It is primarily ceramics that the designer is known for and everyone should be able to afford a figure or a dish according to BW. The 60s and 70s were the decades where BW designs could be found in most Danish homes. In addition to ceramics, BW drew scenographies and costumes for various theaters in the country, posters, stamps, Christmas stamps and more.
The Blue House in Kongens Lyngby was BW's private home, which he lived in until his death in 2006. Now you can visit the house by prior arrangement to experience the multi-artist and get a tour of BW's good friend, René Schultz and see the talented ceramic painters in action. The house is filled with BW's various works and art collections from around the world - art, books and music.
