Wiinblad

Bjørn Wiinblad Hurricane is a series of characteristic candleholders in several different sizes coated with either chrome or brass for a beautifully shiny and durable surface. The Hurricane candleholders feature one, two or three sections, and are all beautiful and atmospheric to have on the floor or on a table, where their quirky look will create an extravagant and magical ambience, brightening up any home in the most beautiful way – and are certain to add a personal and creative expression.

Bjørn Wiinblad was one of Denmark's most talented artists, and became world famous for his imaginative drawings and decorations filled with romantic girls, legendary figures, and wonderful patterns. But before he could unleash himself as an artist, he  had to attend the Technical College in Frederiksberg from 1936 to 1939, and also held an apprenticeship as a typographer during the same period.

He had told his father that he wanted to be an artist, but his father insisted that he first pursue an education that would ensure him a fixed monthly salary. Bjørn Wiinblad therefore began his studies in typography in 1935 and, although he understood the sense in learning proper craftsmanship, he did not fit into the typography environment particularly well.
