When the Lyngby vase was originally released in 1936, it had a very unique and modern aesthetic for that time, which contrasted with the traditional ornamental techniques, paintings and details common back then. Its design was inspired by the functional Bauhaus movement in Germany and the shape in itself is enough – no ornaments or brushes needed. The original Lyngby Vase from Porcelænsfabrikken Danmark – Lyngby Porcelæn has the well known, hand printed monogram on the bottom.

This is exactly what I like about this classic vase: it’s simple but yet has such a powerful effect in an interior. I combined it with the modern Chapeau, designed by Milia Seyppel in 2011, who graduated from the Bauhaus University in Weimar. I like this combination of the round curves of Chapeau with the static and simple lines of the classic vase. I have been moving this trio around the house and it basically looks good anywhere.

If you would like this classic design in your home as well, you are in luck: until Sunday midnight Berlin time, you can win your own Lyngby vase (20 cm). All you have to do is follow @lyngbyporcelain on Instagram and leave a comment on this blogpost about where you would place the vase in your home. Good Luck !
