THE SPHERA BY ANGELO LELLI IN FREAK HANSEN

Podríamos calificar de espectacular esta rara pieza, dificil de conseguir hasta su referencia en los libros de consulta, y aún más en internet, aunque usted no lo crea.

Hace falta conocer el trabajo del maestro Lelli para poder detectar su obra. Afortunadamente además contamos con el sticker que ésta pegado al dorso, que cita la firma de Arredoluce-Monza,

Algo interesante como anécdota del diseño de esta lámpara es ver la similitud que resulta al estilo de esta con el Memphis de los años 80´s liderado entre otros por Ettore Sotsas, treinta años después aproximadamente.

Donde básicamente la geometria define la forma de la estructura.

Si les gusto Angelo Lelli, los espero para conversar.

Preben Fabricius, Jorgen Kastholm

2 original high end relax chairs in original brown leather.

These architects made their gratest works together,

but also seperately they achieved some succes.

Kastholm first worked with Arne Jacobsen while Fabricius

was educated by Nils Vodder and Finn Juhl.

These BO 561 models are hard to find top quality products.

Inspired by functionalism and the resoluteness of Scandinavian design, which had a considerable influence on the aesthetics of the sixties, interior designers Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm devoted themselves to optimising shape, material and ergonomics. In 1961, they founded a studio together which became a birthplace of numerous classics in furnishing history. Their main concern was to clearly state the function of an aesthetic form. This principle resulted in lasting symbols of the modern age.

My love affair with Jens Quistgaard (above) started in the least exquisite of places: the filthy thrift stores of the Pacific Northwest. As a resourceful and enterprising (read: dirt poor) 20-something, I paid rent by reselling vintage clothing to fashionable, yet less resourceful, 20-somethings. In the face of growing competition and career fatigue, I found myself quickly bored of fighting punchy septuagenarians for scraps of dirty Dior. It was at this time that my attentions were drawn to Quistgaard’s mid-century tabletop items for Dansk International Designs. Cheap, plentiful and endlessly beautiful, it was like accidentally stumbling upon a Danish Modern goldmine. I soon found myself spending hours scouring the aisles for treasures marked with Quistgaard’s signature: IHQ.

A quick history: Jens Harald Quistgaard (a.k.a., IHQ, 1919–2008) was born in Copenhagen and showed great creative aptitude nearly from birth. Trained in the fine arts, he evolved into his prominent role as industrial designer through collaboration with American entrepreneur Ted Nierenberg. In the early 1950s Quistgaard had completed a prototype for his Fjord line of flatware – an amalgamation of warm teak and cool stainless steel which would come to set the sculptural tone of his future designs. Nierenberg discovered Fjord at a museum exhibition in Copenhagen and approached Quistgaard to put the flatware into mass production. Insistent that it could only be produced by hand, Quistgaard resisted but eventually agreed and Dansk was born. By 1954 Fjord was released to a post-war American public increasingly fascinated by the emerging Danish Modern style. As Dansk’s primary creative force from the 1950s thru the 1980s, Quistgaard designed and released literally thousands of products which revolutionized the way Americans saw housewares. Salad bowls, enameled pans and pepper grinders were no longer just utilitarian objects – his were functional objects of art that begged to be used – nor were they austere high design pieces isolated to the privileged class. Dansk marketed their goods through High Street shops, making access to well-designed goods a reality for the American middle class. For the average mid-century homemaker, Dansk wasn’t just a purveyor of Danish Modern; it absolutely was Danish Modern.

I may be older and (marginally) wiser than I was in my salad days, but Quistgaard’s designs still hold a place in my heart. Much to my delight, a savvy collector public has been turned on to Quistgaard’s brilliance in recent years. (As well as Quistgaard’s heinously underrated associate at Dansk, Gunnar Cyren.) While the days of Dansk’s cheap and plentiful status are quickly vanishing – a recent trip to San Francisco’s Paul Smith boutique revealed an assortment of vintage pieces selling for hundreds – it’s absolutely exciting to see Quistgaard receive the acclaim he deserves.

Please join the DWR Potrero Studio and filmmaker Stig Guldberg on Thursday, February 11 from 6 to 8pm for a screening of A Saucepan for My Wife, a documentary about the designer’s life. Guldberg will be on hand to answer questions, and there will be an exhibition of Quistgaard’s work, including DWR’s Teak Folding Stool and his vintage teak pepper mills (available for purchase).

Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Designs Denmark IN FREAK HANSEN

LA GRAN Y AFAMADA HIELERA DEL MAESTRO DE MAESTROS JEN QUISGAARD.

Although not the most famous of Danish designers, Jens Harald Quistgaard (JHQ) should be credited with bringing Danish design into the most American homes. Quistgaard's legacy runs deep within the design world. In a historical context, he is now known as Denmark's first industrial designer. There were many fine designers before him, but he was able to successfully apply his craft to mass produced goods in ways that had not been done previously; through innovation and close collaboration with manufacturers.

JHQ was born in 1919 and trained as a sculptor and craftsman in childhood. His talents were significant and he went on to apply his vision to an unprecedented array of products in wood, glass, metal, and ceramics. Although his career was put on hold by World War II, he co-founded Dansk with the American Ted Nierenberg in 1954 and went on to design such classics as Fjord flatware, the staved teak line of table ware, Kobenstyle cookware, and many other very successful lines.

Quistgaard passed away on January 4, 2008 at his home in Denmark. The New York Times featured an excellent obituary summarizing his long and productive life, during which he won numerous design awards and was featured in museums around the world, including New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Louvre.

The Danish Pepper book goes into much more detail on Quistgaard's life and work, with a focus on his amazing series of salt and pepper mills for Dansk.
