About the Item

Danish mid-century furniture design, flourishing from the 1940s to the 1960s, is celebrated for its minimalist elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and emphasis on functionality. Characterized by clean lines, organic forms, and a harmonious balance between aesthetics and practicality, this design movement embodies the ethos of "form follows function." This Danish teak platter's distinctive form is characterized by its flowing, fluid lines, reflecting the mid-century fascination with natural aesthetics and its embrace of organic shapes. The platter's surface boasts a rich, warm patina that highlights the natural beauty of the teak wood, with a smooth, polished finish that enhances the wood's intricate grain patterns. Designed with both functionality and artistry in mind, this platter seamlessly combines form and purpose. Its robust, solid construction ensures durability, while the refined design can elevate any setting. It is often observed that Danish mid-century designs are stripped of unnecessary ornamentation, focusing instead on simple, functional forms. This minimalism is not merely for visual appeal but also enhances the practicality of a piece, making them versatile and enduring. Whether it is displayed as a centerpiece or used in the everyday, this teak platter embodies the timeless appeal of mid-century modern Danish design and the unparalleled craftsmanship of its era.

Jens Quistgaard Staved Teak Bowl for Dansk Design, Denmark, 1950s
By Jens Quistgaard, Dansk
Located in Utrecht, NL
Jens H. Quistgaard set out to design beautiful things for everyday use, which is an essentially Scandinavian approach to design in general. Over the course of his prolific and varied design career, Jens Quistgaard created objects that are a meditation on the possibilities of shape for a common household object.

This solid wood bowl is a beautiful example of this, with an organic shape and an immediately visible level of craftsmanship. This rare model is an early iteration of the teak Viking...
