Von Ribbeck

- designed by Laura Straßer

Laura Straßer has designed the porcelain lamp ”Von Ribbeck” for Karakter - a lamp which takes its inspiration from a poem, a region and a grandmother. Throughout her childhood and adulthood Laura Straßer has been fascinated and drawn to the German poet ”Von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck im Haveland” written by Theodor Fontane.

The story revolves around Von Ribbeck who gives pears from his tree to the children in his village even in his afterlife, where a pear tree grows at his churchyard. Theodor Fontane originates from the same region as Laura Straßer’s grandmother.

The porcelain factory "Danmark" - Lygnby Porcelain (1936 - 1969) was established in Kongens Lyngby and left a great impression during it's relatively short lifespan. In just a few years, production grew to a third of the total porcelain production in Denmark.

Now, after 43 years and in full agreement with the heirs of the porcelain factory "Danmark", Karakter has relaunched the old brand by the simpler name "Lyngby Porcelain".
