Royal Copenhagen is launching four new figurines by Pia Langelund, which pay homage to human beauty and the curves of the body – a male and a female bust, a recumbent man on a pedestal and a kneeling woman on a pedestal, in white and black porcelain.
“Pia Langelund has a supreme sense for what is beautiful in a perfect human body and the human profile. She knows how to transform our love for entrancing curves and long lines, into sculptures that render it completely legitimate to cultivate and appreciate a perfect anatomy,†explains Niels Bastrup, Royal Copenhagen’s Creative Director.
Pia’s figurines for Royal Copenhagen increase the limits of how porcelain figurines are normally perceived, so that they cross the boundary from knick-knacks to home décor – she has mastered the difficult art of capturing muscles at work and the way in which the body radiates the object’s posture, in her sculptures.
In a beautifully furnished office, a living room or a lounge, the eye will be drawn to these figurines, which will bring beauty, longing and drama to their surroundings.
The four figurines, a male bust and a female bust in a matt glaze, plus a male figure on a pedestal and a female figure on a pedestal in a shiny glaze, are all available in both black and white.
The busts retail at £345.00 and the sculptures at £230.00.
