【Book Introduction】
"This is a designer’s book – from the moment you pick it up, you can feel its deep focus on materials and construction details."
— The New Yorker
📘 Jens Quistgaard
This is the first comprehensive and authoritative monograph on the life and work of Danish-American designer Jens Quistgaard — a long-overlooked figure who played a key role in shaping both Danish Modern and Mid-century Modern design.
Jens Quistgaard (1919–2008), regarded as one of the founders of the Scandinavian Modern style, served as the chief designer for the American brand Dansk Designs for over 30 years, producing more than 4,000 designs. He believed that everyday utilitarian objects should embody both function and harmonious aesthetics — a philosophy that can be seen in his work across spoons, cookware, tableware, pepper mills, and more. His ideas remain both relevant and inspiring to this day.
His work is part of the permanent collections of major museums across Europe and the United States, including the Design Museum Denmark, MoMA in New York, and the British Museum in London. Many of his iconic designs are still in production.
This book features never-before-seen sketches, archival photographs, design drawings, and case studies, as well as a comprehensive catalog of his works. It offers an in-depth look into Quistgaard’s creative journey and design philosophy, revealing his significant and lasting contribution to design history.
A must-have reference for designers, collectors, and anyone passionate about design.
