GOBELIN Lavish porcelain from One Thousand and One Nights Bjørn Wiinblad was fascinated by the aesthetics of the Orient, returning time and time again to that universe in his ceramics, posters and decorative projects – and not least in his sumptuous gobelin tapestries, which are so delicate and tightly woven that they resemble paintings. The GOBELIN series is a modern interpretation of Wiinblad’s original gobelin depiction of the beautiful Scheherazade from the tale of One Thousand and One Nights – one of those tales that is so enchanting that you would do anything to hear it to the end. One Thousand and One Nights is about a barbaric sultan who marries a new virgin every day, executing her the morning after. Until, that is, he meets the Eastern beauty Scheherazade, who spellbinds him every night with tales that never end – and wins his love. If her fairytale stories aren’t enough to spellbind your guests, then the lavish, imaginative design with its squiggles and doodles in real gold and elegant rhombuses will create enough atmosphere and conversations in your home for One Thousand and One Nights! 4
