BIOGRAPHY OF DESIGNER

Jens Harald Quistgaard (April 23, 1919 – January 4, 2008) was a Danish sculptor and designer, known principally for his work for the American company Dansk Designs, where he was chief designer for three decades starting in 1954. Though a sculptor and grounded in traditional handicrafts, he quickly established a career as an industrial designer. From the mid-1950’s his tableware and kitchenware designs became synonymous with Scandinavian Modern and found their way into millions of homes in the US, Europe and Japan. Quistgaard has received public recognition with six prizes in the Milan Triennali, the Luning Prize in 1954 and in 1958 he received the Neiman Marcus Award. Quistgaard is represented at major museums in Europe and the USA. Many of Jens Quistgaard's works are still produced today.
