blomst

In 2012, Royal Copenhagen initiated a collaboration with Dutch artist, Wouter Dolk, to pay homage to the historic Blue Flower from 1780 with a new dinnerware: blomst. blomst carries on the hand painted motifs of Blue Flower in a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic. Where Blue Flower was adorned with a bouquet of blue flowers centred on each piece of porcelain, every piece of blomst is decorated with a single, asymmetrically placed flower, hand painted onto modern, angled shapes. Created in 2018 by Wouter Dolk for Royal Copenhagen.

The Story of Blomst: A Vibrant New Chapter in Royal Copenhagen's Heritage

Embark on the captivating journey behind Blomst, Royal Copenhagen’s mesmerising collection that masterfully reinterprets a cherished classic for contemporary living. This isn't merely dinnerware; it's a profound testament to innovation and the enduring allure of Danish design, seamlessly blending our rich heritage with a striking new artistic vision.

From Archival Inspiration to Modern Masterpiece

The very genesis of Blomst took root in 2012, blossoming from an exciting collaboration between Royal Copenhagen and the acclaimed Dutch artist Wouter Dolk. Their shared ambition was clear: to honour the magnificent Blue Flower pattern, first introduced in 1780, whilst simultaneously forging a bold, unmistakably contemporary path. Where the original Blue Flower presented a grand, centrally positioned bouquet, Blomst offers a fresh reimagining of this tradition. Dolk's insightful vision, brought to life in 2018, meticulously focuses on a single, artfully asymmetrical bloom, each one hand-painted with a fresh, dynamic angled sensibility. It’s a design that speaks eloquently to the past, yet with an unmistakable contemporary flair, proving that genuine artistry can always be magnificently reinvented.

The Art of the Brushstroke: Unveiling Blomst's Unique Character

The profound allure of the Blomst collection lies in its exceptional artistry and the remarkable depth achieved through each brushstroke. Every hand-painted flower on every piece radiates a remarkable vibrancy and lifelike quality. This captivating effect is painstakingly achieved through a specialised brushstroke technique, developed exclusively for Blomst's distinct aesthetic. This meticulous approach truly sets Blomst apart, bestowing upon each item a distinctive, almost living quality that is genuinely unique within our extensive porcelain collections. It’s a subtle yet deeply profound difference that elevates Blomst far beyond mere dinnerware, transforming it into an exquisite work of art.
