Stilleben, Copenhagen

What to buy here: Kähler ceramics. Kähler is famous for classic design and excellent craftsmanship, and the Omaggio collection, which includes ceramic bowls and vases, is no different. The Omaggio ceramic vases are a new interpretation by designers Ditte Reckweg and Jelena Schou Nordentoft, both graduates of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, who own the small designer shop Stilleben in Copenhagen. Ditte Reckweg and Jelena Schou Nordentoft have interpreted Kähler’s classic raw stripes into a new modern shape with soft brush strokes. The vases, which are widely popular, come in many sizes and colors, fit for any home. Price range is $25-365. The Danish ceramic design business Kähler has been in existence since 1839. During the more than 170 years it has presented the world with a strong tradition of ceramic craftsmanship and design by famous artists such as Svend Hammershøi, Thorkild Bindesbøll, Louise Campbell and Cecilie Manz. Kähler’s own flagship store is located in the Danish city of Aarhus.
