Design based upon form and functionality with groundbreaking glazing technique best sums up, why they are among of the world leading firms when it comes to mid-century modern pottery design.

Søholm Keramik (Ceramics), Denmark was founded by Edvard Christian Sonne and Herman Sonne Wolffsen in 1835. The original production was focusing on useful pottery plates, bowls and flasks among other items. Yet as the demand for these goods fell after the second world war, they now started to focus more and more on interior design and decoration objects. Soon they were producing a variety of pottery such as vases, lamps and wall hangings. Soon they became one of Denmark’s leading manufacturers of modern ceramics both in household goods and art and design pottery. By the 1930s Michael Andersen and Sons of Ronne on the island of Bornholm was headed by brothers Daniel and Michael who developed the company immensely and contributed to their world-wide success.
