Bjorn Wiinblad and Rosenthal (Germany) For many years Bjorn Wiinblad collaborated with the large German glass and porcelain producer Rosenthal. Rosenthal is known for its innovative quality products and for seeking new paths and launching atypical products with an often bold choice in colours and shapes that catch you despite their unique expression. The collaboration between Bjorn Wiinblad and Rosenthal was a great success. Bjorn Wiinblad had great freedom in creating and developing. He made many plate series in porcelain and glass, as well as dinnerware and decorations. Most notably he designed the dinnerware for the 2500th anniversary of the Persian shahdom. Below you can see different examples of things produced at Rosenthal in Germany (Notice the large hurricane candleholders that are also designed by Bjorn Wiinblad and are now produced at Rosendahl in Denmark). Find Hurricane Candleholders here.

Bjorn Wiinblad's Workshop (Kgs Lyngby) Bjorn Wiinblad's own workshop in Kgs. Lyngby opened in 1952 and closed around 2010 a few years after the death of Bjorn Wiinblad (6th June 2006). The items made here were often hand painted and more artistic than the factory produced works that Bjorn Wiinblad made for Nymolle and Rosenthal. At his own workshop he produced waterfontains and tiles as well as a huge production of figurines, vases, candleholders and dishes etc. - These items were produced and sold in much smaller number and were typically much more expensive. - Many probably know his annual figurines that had a sales price of about EUR 520 per piece in 2008. We sell these items really fast and at the moment we have hardly any of the items in stock! Bjorn Wiinblad Denmark After the death of Bjorn Wiinblad Rosendahl in Denmark (Not to be confused with Rosenthal from Germany) bought the rights to parts of Bjorn Wiinblad's design. - These are marketed under the name Bjørn Wiinblad Denmark today. Bjørn Wiinblad Denmark produces a large range of decorative items. Below you can see examples of these products.
