Tinsoldier & Ballerina
Walnut and beech from responsible forestry
ABOUT THE DESIGN
A LOVE STORY TURNED IN WOOD
In Hans Christian Andersen's most tender tale, a steadfast tinsoldier with one leg falls hopelessly in love with a ballerina who dances on the tip of her toe. Two figures, each balancing on the edge of the possible — held upright by something stronger than gravity.
The Tinsoldier tapers toward his base, his form narrowing to a single resolute point. The Ballerina rises in opposition — light, wide at the hem, perpetually mid-movement. Placed together, they complete each other visually and narratively: two silhouettes that only make full sense as a pair.
Both are turned from solid walnut and beech, the contrast between the dark and pale wood doing the work that colour might otherwise do. The forms are stripped back, just the wood, the shape, and the story you already know.
A design object and a love story, in two pieces.
