| "The arched ceilings from Greek and Roman antiquity and the ancient use of wooden wheels for waggons and carriages come together here in the simple, detailed hand-crafted piece, Vagn, inspired by Bindesbøll and Thorvaldsen’s work. On his homecoming after 40 years in Italy, Thorvaldsen was celebrated and drawn through the streets of Copenhagen on a carriage where the horses had been unhitched: the people wanted to pull the carriage themselves to celebrate this worldrenowned sculptor. This wooden-wheeled serving trolley pays homage to the days when Thorvaldsen was revered and pampered like a superstar by neoclassicism, while the groundbreaking young architect Bindesbøll designed and converted the former royal carriage depot to create the first public art museum in Denmark.".- The Cabinetmakers´ Autumn Exhibition, Mono 2018/Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling, Mono 2018/SE 2018.- Torben Petersen |
