A large staved teak fruit bowl, or salad bowl, designed by Jens Quistgaard in the 1960's and handmade in Denmark for Dansk Designs, USA.

Quistgaard is highly regarded for his sculptural approach to homeware design, and his stylistic contributions to the mid-20th century domestic setting. His influence & importance is most notable in the USA, where his design work for Dansk was so successful that one could argue that, by the 1960's, your dinner party was simply not 'modern' without the presence of his work. Resultantly, Quistgaard is more responsible than any other designer for popularising the aesthetics of Scandinavian design in mid-20th Century America.

This large tapered bowl is subtle and stylish. The elegant, practical object can be used as a fruit bowl, or to serve large salads. The latter would be particularly effective when used with a pair of Quistgaard-designed salad servers. The straight-sided walls taper gently inwards, whilst the bevelled lower part makes the object appear, almost, to float.

The bowl was carved on a lathe by a skilled craftsperson, and is made from 26 individual pieces of teak wood. These pieces are joined together before turning to give a subtle, decorative effect.
