ABOUT PRODUCTID 31893
The ice bucket designed by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Design epitomizes Scandinavian mid-century modernism of the 1960s. Crafted from solid teak wood, it features a slender, oval silhouette that tapers gracefully toward the base—from 24 cm in diameter at the top to 14 cm at the foot, standing 49 cm tall. The surface is adorned with a pronounced, rich teak grain in a warm, medium-brown hue, finished in a satin-matte sheen that softly reflects light. Its hallmark is the smoothly integrated handle, seamlessly arching from the body and emphasizing the unity and sculptural quality of the form. All elements are meticulously fitted, with a tight, well-sealing lid ensuring practical function. The piece is preserved in very good condition, displaying only minimal, age-consistent marks—fine scratches and slight scuffs—without alterations to the original wood structure.
This ice bucket speaks with the voice of a Danish era that valued restraint and function above ornament. The spare, sculptural lines and noble teak express a time when design was meant to endure—practical yet quietly beautiful in its simplicity. Jens Quistgaard’s distinctive, thoughtful, and organic approach continues to resonate with connoisseurs of genuine craftsmanship. The smooth, velvety surface is a reminder of the hand-crafted tradition that has become a hallmark of Scandinavian classic design.
The bucket can be paired with classic Danish mid-century furniture or set within contemporary interiors where wood serves as a conscious, standout accent. It could grace a refined bar, sideboard, or coffee table, alongside glass decanters, minimalist trays, or simply shaped ceramics. The object brings a sense of calm and natural harmony to living spaces, dining rooms, or lounge areas, especially when combined with other pieces in wood, glass, or steel.
