Optimist/Pessimist
Details

Hans Bølling designed these two characters that exemplify the duality in each of us: yin vs yang, happy or sad. Their carefully designed bodies only differ in demeanour, revealing the power of expression in defining one as an optimist and the other as a pessimist. Together Optimist and Pessimist embody the balance and reality of life.

They scour archives, drawings and museums to reveal what makes for mastery. The result? Architectmade is a glimpse into a few, rare design objects that some of Denmark’s leading architects created along their way to fame many years ago. Why do they do it? Their passion goes beyond form and function. They believe in moving away from a throw away culture and celebrating timeless products that last.

The Architectmade objects are designed to share, for generations to come.
