The Ebeltoft-style ceramic houses by Ib Laursen are inspired by the cosy townhouses found in one of Denmark’s most atmospheric seaside towns. With their soft colours, tiled roofs and charming window details, these little houses capture the feeling of quiet streets, slightly crooked façades and a slower pace of life. They bring that unmistakable Danish sense of home straight into your interior.
Each ceramic house in this collection is made by hand and finished with a rustic glaze. This handcrafted process means that every piece is unique, with gentle variations in colour, texture and small details. The different colours within the series complement one another beautifully, making it easy to mix and match while keeping a calm, harmonious look. These houses are not about perfection, but about character, warmth and the beauty of handmade design.
Place a candle or a string of fairy lights inside and a soft glow appears behind the windows. The light creates an inviting atmosphere that feels especially comforting during darker evenings, but just as lovely throughout the year. The houses look wonderful on a windowsill, shelf or sideboard, adding a subtle sense of cosiness without overwhelming a space.
Style one house on its own as a gentle accent, or bring several together to form a charming little neighbourhood. Grouped together, they tell a quiet story of Danish town life, warmth and togetherness. Whether displayed individually or as a collection, these Ebeltoft-style ceramic houses add a timeless, homely feeling to any interior, just as you would expect from true Danish design.
