The Biennale for Craft and Design takes place during the same year as the UN’s Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen. Consequently, we felt that it would be interesting to choose sustainablity as the theme for the 2009 Biennale. Not only because it is a topic that concerns us all, but also because it seems obvious to us that the disciplines of design and craft provide essential input for the development of better ways of managing earth’s resources in the future. Includes ceramic art, tapestries, furniture design and more.

The epitome of modern design of the highest caliber, this is Karin Björquist. Her impressive career before, during and after Gustavsberg includes collaborating with Vilhelm Kåge, winning the Lunning Prize, and holding commissions for Nordiska Kompaniet’s exhibition and the NK exhibition both in 1957. Her noteworthy repertoire includes Danish inspired functional stoneware as well as many dinnerware patterns, still in production today. They are known for their superb functional simplicity and for their perfect shape and size. Karin’s blue speckled design for fireplaces and industrial installations are typical of her monumental work from the 60’s and the 70’s at which time she started to experiment in her studio creating wonderful rich glazes and characteristic functional ware. In the 90’s she has created unique designs for the Pro Arte collection for Rörstrand; needless to say Karin’s accomplishments have greatly impacted the history of Swedish design.
