Ole Jensen — Ceramist and Designer

“I try to create objects that encourage a life of simplicity and moderation.”

About:

With a focus on the use of his hands and some basic tools, ceramist and designer Ole Jensen has created a design language that unites the ordinary and the exotic. Working from his Frederiksberg studio, his portfolio of work stems from a deliberate process – starting with centuries old craft techniques, his interactive approach has grown into a family of objects that are designed for the every-day, yet contain a slice of the extra-terrestrial thrown in for good measure.
