Datter Industries is helmed by Kate Blegvad and is where she endeavors to turn her drawings into jewelry. Each piece starts out hand carved in wax before being cast and individually finished. The lack of perfection is Kate’s pieces embrace the process of being handmade and exhibit her inspiration of ancient artefacts, talismans, ritual, the occult, weaponry, and the natural world.
My mind works in a mostly practical fashion, so art that does the opposite always stops me in my tracks. Amy Casey‘s rambling/stacked/suspended neighborhoods and cities make my thoughts chase each other in circles. I think I need more of that in my life.
Lyngby Porcelain has a storied history, but is new to me. After doing a little digging I figured out why – the company that was founded in Denmark in 1936 manufacturing porcelain service sets, vases, and other high design pieces closed its doors in 1969. But lucky for us it reopened in 2012, re-releasing all of their storied designs. These days they’re also busy discovering new designers and designs to add new chapters to their story.
