UNIT - FURNITURE WITH POTENTIAL DESIGN JONAS TRAMPEDACH & BIRGITTE DUE MADSEN
A chair on one day and a table the next – and always with room to put away items and keep a well-organised home. Kähler and the designer duo Birgitte Due Madsen and Jonas Trampedach have thought out of the box to create the ceramic multifunctional Unit furniture. A bold mix of materials and function and a one of a kind on the market, which with its clear, Scandinavian form language goes well with many different interior designs. The ceramic furniture is a natural development in Kähler’s endeavours to challenge the ceramic material to find new applications and thus create surprising designs. For the first time, Kähler has created a piece of furniture – which is also a unique design object.

STORIES OF EVE AN OLD FIGURE TRADITION IS RESUMED DESIGN LOUISE HINDSGAVL
A figure tradition dating back 100 years is resumed. For quite some time, we have focused on furniture and small interior items when investing in our home. But now, the urge to tell a personal story, including all the odd anecdotes, is felt within the four walls of our house. We have the energy to focus on things that have no practical use, but which satisfy our desire for decorative items, for provocative art, which puts new cultural radicalism back on the agenda. Historically, Kähler is known for its figures. And now, Kähler has teamed with artist and ceramicist Louise Hindsgavl to carry this somewhat forgotten tradition into a new and modern era in a fine mix of contemporary trends and the always titillating provocations of the arts. Also, Kähler has a vision to make art accessible – and affordable.

BOTANICA - A MODERN VASE WITH REFERENCE TO THE HISTORIC WORKS OF KÄHLER DESIGN METTE BACHE & BARBARA BENDIX BECKER
The beautiful, voluminous Botanica vases of faience were designed for the modern home - a series of ceramics which appreciates the delicate balances between the functional aspect and the aesthetics of the wonderful world of ceramics. The Botanica vases are available in a number of beautiful, but also mysterious and almost indefinable colours, and with regards to the wonderful colour universe Barbara Bendix Becker says, ”The colours we have worked with contain the diversity of all greys and thus the vases reflect the colours of the flowers you choose and in particular the room you place them in”. As a practical detail, the vases are designed with grooves at the bottom which make it easy to arrange stems and twigs to your liking.

CONO - CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC CONES DESIGN MARIANNE NIELSEN
One of nature’s most beautiful and most popular decorative objects has been interpreted into a modern, stylished design, which with its warm colours and clear associations brings the magical universe of the forest into your home. Materials such as wood and fur are among the hottest interior decoration trends today, and objects and colours reminiscent of nature are very popular. Thus, you can leave the beautiful Cono candlesticks on the table when you carefully put away the rest of the Christmas decorations. The four Cono candlesticks, each in a unique colour and simplified form – as candlesticks or design objects - will look great on any table or window sill at any season of the year.

AVVENTO IN DELICATE NORDIC GRAYSCALE DESIGN MARIANNE NIELSEN
The Avvento series, originally created in four green shades, is now available in soft, Nordic greys, which magically reflect the colours of the room. The fir trees designed by Marianne Nielsen allow you to decorate your December home in the contemporary style and still hold onto the traditions and symbols of Christmas. The trees serve as candlesticks and may be placed separately or arranged in personal advent tableaux. Small ceramic pieces telling little stories that we take great pains to stage, whether we prefer a simple or a more decorative Christmas style.

ILLUMINA - WHEN DESIGN AND TRADITIONS MEET DESIGN MICHAEL GEERTSEN
Christmas evokes the holiday decoration genes in most of us, but there are exceptionally few ideas on how to hold onto your fascination with beautiful, stylish design when it comes to Christmas decorations. The Illumina candlesticks for advent and calendar candles do not compromise on aesthetics or the simple Scandinavian form language. ”Actually, I am most interested in creating a canvas for people’s own creativity. I have contributed a surface and a candlestick, the rest is up to the user’s own imagination, interpretation and personality” - internationally acclaimed ceramicist Michael Geertsen and Kähler have created two candlesticks for taper candles and pillar candles, respectively, with a stylish, simple and Scandinavian form language.

URBANIA CASTS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT OVER LAND DESIGN METTE BACHE & BARBARA BENDIX-BECKER
The magic of Christmas and childhood memories are revived in a modern interpretation when both gleaming light and fascinating shadows are cast into our December-dark rooms from the miniature world of the Urbania houses. This year, yet another tea light house is introduced. Its lines are inspired by one of the most beautiful and well-preserved antique buildings in Rome, the Pantheon. �Many of us build small villages and landscapes at Christmas time; however, the idea behind URBANIA was to change the decoration away from the known, religious symbols and over to a more culturally oriented perspective. The light is a common denominator in all societies that celebrate the season and with the houses, we have created a decorative object that frames the light�, says Barbara Bendix Becker, who has created URBANIA together with Mette Bache.

OMAGGIO INVITES COFFEE TO THE TABLE DESIGN RECKWEG & NORDENTOFT
The by now classic Omaggio stripe has once again been the inspiration for a unique piece of everyday design. The stripe emphasises the strong, stylish expression of the new cafetière, which perfectly matches the other products of the series, but which will delight the eye and brighten any table decoration. With the brown and black stripe as a graphic and modern decorative element and the exciting mix of the pure white porcelain and the light, moulded poplar wood, the cafetière becomes an expression of Scandinavian design at its best – and a very elegant expression of our time.

PREPARE, SERVE AND DECORATE WITH MANO OVENWARE DESIGN JEANETTE LIST AMSTRUP
Today, we embrace a simpler lifestyle and the challenge is therefore to create high-quality multifunctional products with a long life – that also make our everyday life more beautiful, more fun and more practical. Mano ovenware was designed as a unique and decorative alternative to the classic and more anonymous ovenware available on the market. The series consists of a large bowl, a small bowl with a lid and three plates. Two of the small plates will fit side by side in the oven. The bowl may be used to keep the casserole or some interesting accompaniments hot, ready to be put on the table when everybody is seated.

THE TABLE’S NEW DARLING - THE MANO TEAPOT DESIGN JEANETTE LIST AMSTRUP
Less is more is the new gastronomic trend. The trend also applies to liquorice, coffee – and tea. The very popular, colourful and charming Mano teapot is now available in a small version. Just the right size when you take a moment to pause and enjoy a special cup of tea and your own company. But also big enough to share the experience with a loved one. The teapot of glazed faience has the unique, organic form language that characterises Jeanette List Amstrup’s hard-to-miss design for Kähler. The teapot matches all the other products of the Mano series, but it also looks dashing in combination with other series.
