Sven-Erik Tonn-Petersen

Sven-Erik Tonn-Petersen (1925-2004) was a self-taught Danish designer who created a large collection of quality conscious design objects under the name Tonn-P.

Tonn-P had a great appetite for life and lived a high-spirited, festive and adventurous life. He created harmonious and functional designs in many materials, including wood, plastic and metal.

Tonn-P’s creative drive was inexhaustible and works such as the Pepper Bird, Salt Egg and Caravel candle holder represent just a tiny sample of his designs. He also produced furniture, lamps, sculptures, cigar boxes, clocks with intarsia (wood inlay) or metal inlay and many other things.
