Poul Hermann Poulsen (07.19.1947 - 06.27.1999) was a Danish designer. He worked among others designing ceramic tiles for Gangso Furniture (Gangsø Møbler) in Faarvang, Denmark. Previously, he was the proprietor of Faaborg Pottery (1976–1978) at the city square in Faaborg, Denmark, where he designed pottery. It later evolved into the design of ceramics, tiles, carvings, pictures, oil paintings, drawings and photo posters, etc. Some of his designs with typical characteristics is the use of Hogweed flowers and rushes, which often are printed on the tiles or images. But also circular patterns in various colors and provoked cracks are often seen in his design. In the 1970s he worked most in those currently fashionable brownish shades, but towards the end of the 1980s he experimented with other more colors paired with copper, silver and gold shades. Most widespread is his work from 1978-1983, where he designed ceramic tiles for Gangso Furniture (Gangsø Møbler). Poul H. Poulsen died of cardiac arrest in 1999, and is buried at Ulkebol cemetery in Sonderborg, Denmark. Summary: Midcentury?Danish Poul H.
