BROSTE COPENHAGEN CLASSICS SANDY VASE Narrow grooves, rippling softly as if they have been drawn with a stick in the sand. That is the motif on the ceramic vase San dy. I ts c olou r s a ls o or ig in a te fr om n at u r e – b u r n t ochre, washed grey, and soft hues reminiscent of the very sand that in the inspiration behind the vase’s surface and its name. Sandy is available in three sizes – one for the small bouquet on the windowsill, one for the slightly larger bunches on the table, and one for sprays of wild tangled branches on the living room floor. Some objects seem impervious to the wear and tear of time and have for decades, perhaps even centuries, remained in possession of the same magic as they had when they were first created. Perhaps the shape is especially strong, pure, or harmonious and thus never loses its validity and vitality. Perhaps the material preserves its allure, regardless of when and how it is used. And then there are designs that inexplicably remain wondrously appealing across time, place, and context. Throughout Broste Copenhagen’s 60-year-history, design objects, furniture, and modern artware have come and gone along with changing trends and tendencies. They have made their way in and out of contemporary homes; they have been used, loved, worn out and eventually replaced in a rush of inquisitive enthusiasm for new ideas, materials, or colours. A few objects remain as timeless examples of Broste Copenhagen’s unique idiom, though, and have achieved status as modern classics. Maybe they re-emerge each season clad in new colours or new products are added to an existent series. But the basic shapes and functions are unchanged – as is the joy of meeting the designs again when they are launched as Broste Copenhagen Classics. 30 BROSTE COPENHAGEN
