About Spring Copenhagen
Since 2015, Denmark
The Danish design company Spring Copenhagen pursues a clear goal: It wants to contribute to making everyday life inspiring because it is convinced that sophisticated design enriches life. Even though the label only launched in 2015, its DNA is already firmly rooted in traditional Scandinavian design. The most important ingredients? Original ideas, quality and craftsmanship.
This concretely means animal figurines, everyday objects or accessories such as candlesticks made of high-quality processed wood. The most famous example is the "Bird" pepper mill by Sven Erik Toni-Petersen, which was produced in the 1950s and discontinued due to its complex production. Spring Copenhagen brought the classic back on the market in 2015 after more than 50 years.
Anyone who now only thinks that Spring Copenhagen offers minimalist design is wrong. The special thing about Spring Copenhagen is the idea behind almost every design - which can be tongue-in-cheek. Therefore, the brand collaborates with promising designers and idea creators to create products. And at the same time, it revives extraordinary designs of Danish design icons.
Here, visionary ideas are combined with traditional handicrafts because each figure is hand-painted and thus unique.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
