ABOUT THE SCULPTURE

The hard material, the stoneware, contrasts the soft fabric or leather we normally associate with a sofa.

The work was made by the ceramicists Ane Davidsen and Lova Nyblom when studying at Design School Kolding. They were then given the opportunity to create a large work of art at Tommerup Ceramic Workcenter.

In 1658 – close to the Ceramic Workcenter – there had been fierce battles between the Danes and the Swedes, and the Swedes defeated the Danes. Swedish Lova Nyblom was moved by the tale and found it appropriate to give something back to the devastated neighbourhood. Thus, the idea of creating a so-called safety zone in the form of the iconic group of sofas was created – a place with a homely atmosphere inviting to an ongoing dialogue.

The title Home Sweet Forest refers to the phrase Home Sweet Forest and a previous location on a forest track near Tommerup.
