In addition to showcasing the works of Thorval Bindesboll, this book delineates his collaborations with craftsmen and other artists, while placing this creative and prolific artist against the day's currents within architecture, art and design. 

Thorvald Bindesboll (1846-1908) was one of the first modern designers in Denmark. His activities covered all the diffrent areas of decorative art: from furniture, book covers, jewellery, carpets, lamps, posters and the familiar Carlsberg beer label to church interiors and sepulchral monuments. His architecture bridges the 19th and the 20th centuries. He is best known for his ceramics, however, with which he created a nonfigurative, abstract art, decades before the emergence of the conept.

The book is lavishly illustrated, with new photographs of Bindesboll's architecture and numerous previously unpublished works.
