Labor Day


Danish Modernist Sculpted Bas Relief Stoneware "Blacksmith" Tile by Karl Otto Johansen for Bing & Grøndahl (LEO Design)

 

Happy Labor Day to the talented workers who—with the talent of their hands and the sweat of their brows—make our lives better and more beautiful.  May they always be cherished and rewarded.

Shown above, a Danish Modernist stoneware tile—with deep bas relief sculpting—which portrays a blacksmith, hard at work at a hot forge.  It was sculpted by Karl Otto Johansen for Danish ceramics workshop Bing & Grøndahl.   It could be installed permanently within a larger tiling project or it can hang on the wall—all by itself—using the hanging grommet on the back of the tile.  Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
