René has been designing unique lamp shades for more than 25 years. From colorful and exuberant to modest. For every extraordinary lamp base (carefully selected antique and vintage items), he designs an applicable shade. His custom made creations are unique because of his interesting use of form and color. They also stand out because of their indirect, soothing and intimate light. Houben is well known and loved by interior designers and decorators all-over Europe. Søholm, the oldest ceramic factory on Bornholm was founded by Herman Sonne Wolffsen and Edvard Christian Sonne in 1835. Søholm stoneware design has become a big collector’s item for retro devotees. The factory closed in 1996. Much of the pottery of Denmark matches the modernist flare of the furniture they are so well known for. Sleek lines, innovative use of materials, and streamlined design are typical of the wares created and reflect the Danish modern style popularized in the 1950s and 1960s.
