About the Item

Fantastic set of Danish Mid Century Modern black Melamine salad serving spoon & fork utensils designed by Herbert Krenchel (1922-2014) in Denmark in 1950s. They were made by Torben Orskov until 1964. The Krenit came in 9 sizes and numerous colors. Stamped on back – H. KRENCHEL – DENMARK Condition: Very Good condition. Minor wear consistent with age and use. No issues. Measurements: 2 7/8 inches wide x 12 inches long Please view our other Krenit listings. Herbert Krenchel was a Danish material researcher and designer who became obessed with creating a very thin metal salad bowl after seeing the popularity, at the time, of Americans and Danes to serve large leafy green salads. Krenchel created a process where a very shiny and durable colored enamel could be applied to the inside of the bowl and keeping a matte black finish on the outside and the Krenit (1953-1964) salad bowl came to be. The original bowl was named C-bowl ( 12.5 cm / 10 inches diameter). A design firm founded in 1953 by Torben Ørskov was entrusted for the sales of the newly developed Krenit bowls. In 2007, the Normann Copenhagen company reintroduced the Krenit bowl in new colors including Gold and real Silver with the iconic black matte finish on the outside.
