inspired by Thorvaldsen and Bindesbøl the architect of the museum. The exhibition has got a lot of attention and many people coming daly for a visit.
Vagn / Waggon worked together with the carpenter Mathias Juul Overvad has got a lot of interest at the newspapers and bloggers here in Denmark the last weeks, hopefully you find him interesting as well.
The arched ceilings from Greek and Roman antiquity and the ancient use of wooden wheels for waggons and carriages come together here in the simple, detailed hand-crafted piece, Vagn, inspired by Bindesbøll and Thorvaldsen’s work. On his homecoming after 40 years in Italy, Thorvaldsen was celebrated and drawn through the streets of Copenhagen on a carriage where the horses
had been unhitched: the people wanted to pull the carriage themselves to celebrate this worldrenowned sculptor. This wooden-wheeled serving trolley pays homage to the days when Thorvaldsen was revered and pampered like a superstar by neoclassicism, while the groundbreaking young architect Bindesbøll designed and converted the former royal carriage depot to create the first public
art museum in Denmark.

GOGGAR
Product Description:
Goggar / Næb / Beaks
The Goggar bird feeders are inspired by the architecture at Tivoli, the birds in the Parterre Gardens and Dögg Guðmundsdóttir's grandmother, Amma Gunna, who loved birds. Amma Gunna's home was decorated with glass and porcelain birds, and her yard was full of bird feeders. Every day, until she was 102 years old, she would walk round her garden, talking to the birds and the flowers. Goggar pays homage to Amma Gunna and all the birds in the gardens.
Goggar consists of three houses in three different materials. One is a graphic nest made of oak poles and resembling two Norwegian log cabins joined together in the middle. Another offers a bird's eye perspective of the gardens and is made of stainless steel, reminiscent of a modern building of glass and iron. It reflects both the occupant and its surroundings. The third is a bird restaurant made of porcelain with soft lines suggesting a newly hatched chick gaping for food.
