About this item

• The City Comes Indoors: Urbania is a Kähler series of small earthenware tealight houses, designed by Mette Bache and Barbara Bendix Becker to bring familiar building types indoors in ceramic form. The Town House takes its silhouette from classicist architecture, giving it the quietly familiar quality of a building you feel you have seen before.
• Windows Cut By Hand: The house is white glazed ceramic, shaped as a simple pitched-roof town house with a flat front face and square proportions. The windows and door openings are cut into the ceramic by hand, each at a different size, giving the facade the irregular rhythm of a real building rather than a patterned repetition.
• Fits Most Surfaces: At 4.9 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide and deep, this house fits easily into most spaces: a window sill, a side table, a bathroom shelf, or a place in a larger Urbania display without crowding the other pieces. Wipe clean with a damp cloth; the white glaze needs no special care and holds well between uses.
• Lights Up The Room: Set a tealight inside and the hand-cut openings transform the piece: warm light spills through each window and door cutout, throwing gently shifting pools across the surrounding surface, while the house's silhouette becomes a shadow on the nearest wall, changing with every flicker of the flame. Best for dark evenings.
• The Collectible Gift: The Town House is part of the Urbania series, a collection of collectible ceramic tealight houses each representing a different building type, designed to be mixed and displayed together. It makes a considered gift for anyone who appreciates Danish design, candlelight, or the pleasure of building a small ceramic town.
