About the designer:
Jens Harald Quistgaard (1919 – 2008) was a Danish sculptor and designer. He was trained as a sculptor by his farther Harald Quistgaard (1887-1979) and for a period he attended the technical school in Copenhagen. He is known for his work for the American company Dansk Designs, where he was chief designer from 1954. His production included cutlery in silver and steel, trays, bowls, pepper mills and other objects in staved teak and exotic wood sorts. He also designed kitchen utensils in steel for Raadvad including the little shark fin can opener from 1950. His designs were a big success from the beginning, and he is represented in museums in Europe and USA. He received the Lunning Prize and gold medal at the Triennale in Milan in 1954.
