JENS HARALD QUISTGAARD:
The Danish designer, Jens Harald Quistgaard,born 1919, was quite disliked among fellow designers in his time. A dominating functionalist school of designers thought that Quistgaard's designs were too decorative and not focused on function. Because of his Danish unpopularity, Quistgaard joined a collaboration with American 'Dansk Designs' to become the artistic store leader for more than 40 years. So if you live in the US, you have probably come across Quistgaard's designs at some point - and you probably love his stylish tableware designs.
Quistgaard was mostly known for his work for the American company 'Dansk Designs'. Here he was the chief designer from 1954 until the beginning of the 80s. Even though he was a sculptor and had been taught traditional handicrafts, he quickly made a career as an industrial designer. From the mid-1950s his tableware and kitchenware designs became synonymous with Scandinavian modern and found their way into millions of homes in the USA, Europe and Japan. He had great success with working with an international orientation and his work was groundbreaking at the time. In 1958 he received the Neiman Marcus Award and during the following years, he was represented at major museums in Europe and the USA.
Today Quistgaard is celebrated (also in Denmark!) for his accurate and typical designs. This splendid Tea set from the 'RUNE' collection is a gorgeous example of how aesthetics and function emerged in the 70s.
