Urbania Barn is a ceramic lighthouse from Kähler's Urbania series by Mette Bache and Barbara Bendix Becker. Shaped like a classic Nordic barn, it has more hand-cut windows than the earlier houses in the series.
Place a tealight inside and the glossy white glaze spreads small patterns of light and shadow around it. It measures 10.5 cm in height and 12 x 12 cm at the base. Combine it with other Urbania houses to build a small village. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Urbania: 13 ceramic buildings that glow with a tealight
DesignerBache & Bendix Becker
Urbania is a small ceramic town by Danish designers Mette Bache and Barbara Bendix Becker, from a church and a smithy to a manor and a high-rise. Set a tealight inside and its glow falls through hand-carved windows and doors, throwing moving patterns of light around the room.

Hand-carved windows
Each opening is carved by hand, so light falls in its own pattern.
Build a skyline
Mix towers, churches and houses of different heights into a street.
A modern lantern
A fresh take on the traditional house-shaped candle lantern.
Simple to light
Lift the house over a tealight and the windows glow.

A town in white
Urbania depicts buildings, from homes and high-rises to towers and churches. Finished in white glaze, the pieces look like an architect's model by day and come alive in the evening.

Light through windows
The windows and doors are carved by hand. A tealight inside sends a warm glow through them, and the shadows they throw move around the room as the flame flickers, so no two evenings look quite the same.

Make a street
With heights from 9 cm to 22 cm, the houses group naturally. Put the Church Tower and High building at the back, the Smithy and Functio at the front, and you have a skyline on the windowsill.
Materials
- Glazed ceramic
- Wipe with a soft, damp cloth; remove wax with warm water.
- Hand-carved openings
- Small variations make each piece slightly different.
- Tealight
- Use a tealight in a metal or glass cup, and never leave it burning unattended.
Mette Bache and Barbara Bendix Becker studied at the Danish School of Design at the same time and formed their design duo after graduating in 1996. They share a passion for reinterpreting old objects and giving them new life through contemporary design, which led to the Urbania houses for Kähler.
Using it at home
Is it safe?
Place it on a heat-proof surface away from curtains, and never leave a lit candle unattended.
Can I use an LED tealight?
Yes, an LED tealight works well, especially near children or textiles.
How do I clean it?
Let it cool, then wipe with a soft, damp cloth; warm water removes wax spills.
Does it combine with Urbania Tivoli?
Yes. The Tivoli buildings are part of the same Urbania family and share the white ceramic look.
How big is the Barn?
It is 10.5 cm tall and 12 by 12 cm wide, made in white glazed ceramic.
