The undeniable beauty of this stunning Scandinavian Modern piece is no “drop in the bucket!” This lower style lidded ice container was designed by the famed Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Designs. Not sure whether we should call this an ice bucket, ice bowl, or ice container but we do know to call it awesome!! It is comprised of a staved teak slightly tapered round body with self-bands somewhat reminiscent of an old oak bucket. The teak lid has a bullseye effect with its integral teak handle. It is going to be beautiful blended in with the other items on the bar or rolling bar cart, in the kitchen at the breakfast nook, or on the buffet in the dining area. And in case you don’t necessarily NEED another ice bucket, here’s a little secret… my mom had one exactly like this that she used as a cookie jar!! It has multiple uses and an incredible Scandinavian Modern flair!
Jens Harald Quistgaard was an outstanding and prolific designer. Born April 23, 1919, and raised in Copenhagen he showed his talent early creating a workshop in his mother’s kitchen. He was trained in sculpture by his father, Harald Quistgaard, but furthered his artistic education at the technical school in Copenhagen. He designed for many different companies early in his career, but his big break came when he met Martha and Ted Nierenberg the founders of Dansk Designs. Jens helped them to create Dansk and became their primary and chief designer. He remained in that position designing hundreds of items, even the Nierenberg’s home, until the early 1980s when he moved to Rome. He returned to Denmark around 1992 a renowned and award-winning designer continuing to work until just prior to his death in 2008.
Dansk Designs, contrary to popular belief, is an American company not Danish. Founded in 1954 by Martha and Ted Nierenberg who traveled to Europe in search of new products to bring to the U.S. post war audience who was ready for a change from the formal lives they had been living and ready to embrace a more modern and simple way. The Scandinavian Modern Designs fit that bill perfectly. And the Nierenbergs engaged Jens Harald Quistgaard to help them accomplish this task. And…. that they did. It’s been said that Ted and Jens made one good industrial designer. Jens with his beautiful designs and Ted with knowing how they had to be made to be affordable. Dansk Designs was purchased in 1985 by Dansk Acquisition Corp initiated by Goldman Sachs. Then in 1991 it was purchased by Brown-Forman Corporation’s Lenox division. 2009 brought the most recent change when it was all purchased and renamed Lenox Corporation. Currently Dansk operates as a brand of Lenox and still makes beautiful wares. But it is its vintage pieces which are most sought after today.
