Simple luxury

Tools for manual cleaning. The lightly bouncing brushes, the paper-thin dustpans and the soft washing-up basin, which assumes the form of whatever you put in it, were conceived as things that can help make everyday cleaning less trivial and more attractive. The articles have been developed and produced with simple techniques in the materials wood, bristles, plastic and rubber.

Ole Jensen

b. 1958, Danish Ceramist / Designer

Ole Jensen graduated as a ceramic designers from the Kolding School of Arts and Crafts in 1985 and from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1990. Since then, Ole Jensen has exhibited in a variety of venues, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen. Over the years, Ole has worked with many manufactures, including Normann Copenhagen, Muuto and Royal Copenhagen. Ole Jensen mainly finds inspiration for his products by paying attention to everyday life and his close surroundings. One of the ways in which this is reflected is his preference for practical objects that relate to everyday life and the body. The things are developed in a process resembling a craft process: made by hand in clay and other readily available materials. Always with an eye for rationales or phenomena occurring in the process that may later be converted to serial production.
