Rosendahl’s Tanne Vase – Designed By Lin Utzon
Inspired by the gossamer lace curtains in Karen Blixen’s home Rungstedlund, Lin Utzon has created a pretty glass vase and votive with a matt silver motif.
The name Tanne is derived from the writer’s nickname, and the range combines simplicity and elegance – just as we would expect from Karen Blixen’s sure sense of style.
Rosendahl is the official sponsor of the Karen Blixen Museum and for every piece of Karen Blixen’s Christmas sold, a donation is made towards new exhibitions at the Rungstedlund museum.
