Bjorn Wiinblad was born in Copenhagen in 1918. At a young age, he began showing signs of artistic talent, displaying a knack for painting and creating imaginative worlds. At the age of 17, Wiinblad embarked on an apprenticeship as a printmaker, but soon realized that his true calling lay in the path of an artist.

Bjorn Wiinblad在1918年出生於哥本哈根。在很小的時候,他就開始展現出繪畫和創造想像力世界的天賦跡象。17歲那年,溫布拉德開始了印刷工的學徒生涯,但很快意識到他的心志是走藝術家的道路。

He was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Despite being born and trained in Denmark, Wiinblad's style is far from Danish. Unlike many of his contemporaries in mid-century Denmark who embraced functionalist aesthetics in design, Wiinblad favored an intricate romantic style characterized by a rich color palette and undulating lines, often drawing inspiration from fairy tales.

他被丹麥皇家美術學院錄取,展開學習。儘管在丹麥出生和受訓,但Wiinblad的風格絕不是丹麥風格。Wiinblad 沒有像他的許多中世紀同時代人那樣以功能主義美學進行設計,而是擁護一種精緻浪漫的風格,這種風格以豐富的調色板和起伏的線條為主,通常從童話故事中汲取靈感。

His artistic range extended from painting to ceramic art. His depictions of "1001 Nights" inspired him to create various ceramic items, such as vases and planters themed around these fairy tales. Regardless of the surface or medium Wiinblad chose for his creations, his style was instantly recognizable and truly impossible to imitate.

他的藝術範圍從繪畫到陶瓷藝術。他描繪"1001夜"的作品激發了他繪製各種陶瓷物品的靈感,例如以這些童話故事為主題的花瓶和花盆。無論Wiinblad為他的創作選擇了何種表面或媒介,他的風格都能立即被辨認出來,並且真正無法模仿。

In 1957, Wiinblad was appointed as the chief designer for the renowned German brand Rosenthal, further elevating his international reputation. Women were a consistent theme in Wiinblad's work. The women depicted in his pieces exhibited a wide range of emotional nuances, with their eyes and gazes always being particularly distinctive.

西元1957 年,Wiinblad被任命為著名的德國品牌 Rosenthal 的首席設計師,這一職位進一步提升了他的國際聲譽。女性是Wiinblad的一貫主題。他作品中的女性表現出廣泛的情感細微差別,眼睛和凝視總是非常特別。

Bjorn Wiinblad's dedication to lyrical ceramic design is evident in his iconic "Magic Flute" series (1959), created for the Rosenthal porcelain company. This intricately engraved ceramic tableware collection pays homage to Mozart's opera Zauberflote. Wiinblad's other notable designs include the Romance series (1959), the One Thousand and One Nights series (1969), and the Four Colors series (1960s).

Bjorn Wiinblad執著於抒情陶瓷的設計,這體現在他為Rosenthal瓷器公司創作的標誌性"Magic Flute"系列(1959年),這是一個蝕刻精美的陶瓷餐具系列,旨在向莫扎特的歌劇Zauberflote致敬。Bjorn Wiinblad的其他著名設計包括浪漫史(1959)、一千零一夜系列(1969)和四色系列(1960年代)。

Warewish Review: Bjorn Wiinblad's strongly distinctive personal style and captivating unique designs make his works instantly recognizable and unforgettable. Indeed, this candle holder embodies the master's remarkable artistic flair. Shaped in the form of a young girl, with her long hair tied in a ponytail cleverly serving as the handle. The top of her head rises to form the shape of an overturned oil can, yet another ingenious touch by the master, making it even more irresistible to admire and appreciate.

Warewish評論: 比昂.溫布萊德強烈獨特的個人風格,吸引人的特殊造型,讓人過目不忘且一眼即能辨識出的作品。沒錯,這就是比昂大師令人讚嘆的奇情風采。這只燭台以少女的形態樣貌構成,長長的秀髮紮成馬尾,但又巧妙的變成握把。頭頂高起做成倒油罐的形狀,這又是大師的另一慧心巧思,品味讚賞之餘更加令人愛不釋手。
