Thorvald Bindesbøll
Architect and designer
Danish architect who made ceramics, silver and bookbindings with bold, abstract patterns.
Thorvald Bindesbøll, son of the architect Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll, worked in almost every medium, from ceramics and silver to the Carlsberg label.
His dishes and jars with strong, almost abstract patterns were far ahead of their time.
