Knabstrup Keramik x Tortus
- Tradition meets innovation

Knabstrup Keramik and Tortus unite two worlds in a remarkable collaboration that celebrates the mastery of the past and the vision of the future. Rooted in over 125 years of ceramic heritage, combined with a modern approach to form and material, this is more than just a collection—it’s a story of time, passion, and the evolution of craftsmanship.

At the heart of this collaboration is acclaimed ceramicist Eric Landon, the founder of Tortus. His intuitive approach to clay pushes the boundaries between the classical and the experimental. His aesthetic is raw, sculptural, and timeless—a perfect contrast to Knabstrup’s rich legacy.

Meet Tortus

Eric Landon isn’t just a potter—he’s a storyteller. Born in the U.S. but rooted in Denmark, he’s known for making ceramics feel both modern and deeply connected to tradition. His work is minimal yet tactile, balancing precision with a sense of spontaneity. Whether inspired by Copenhagen’s textures or the process itself, his creations always carry a sense of depth and purpose.

”You can’t force clay—it responds to you. It’s a conversation.” 

– Eric Landon
