Perfectio: homage to human anatomy
With the "Perfectio" figurines series Pia Langelund is paying homage to human beauty and the curves of the body.
“Pia Langelund has a supreme sense for what is beautiful in a perfect human body and the human profile. She knows how to transform our love for entrancing curves and long lines into four sculptures that render it completely legitimate to cultivate and appreciate a perfect anatomy,” explains Niels Bastrup, Royal Copenhagen’s Creative Director.
Pia Langelund has previously created animal figurines for Royal Copenhagen, with the most famous probably being a majestic lion and a proud, virile gorilla. She has mastered the difficult art of capturing muscles at work and the way in which the body radiates the object's posture in her sculptures of both animals and people.
Figurines as home décor
Pia Langelund’s figurines for Royal Copenhagen explode the limits of how porcelain figurines are normally perceived and cross the boundary from knickknacks to home décor. In a beautifully furnished office, a living room or a lounge the eye will be drawn to these figurines, which will bring beauty, longing and drama to their surroundings.
