ABOUT PRODUCTID 15603
This acrylic nutcracker, designed by Stig Jorgensen for Dana-Plast in Denmark during the 1970s, embodies the essence of Scandinavian modernism and functional design. Its form consists of a perfectly rounded, high-gloss clear acrylic ring, paired with deep black elements—a matte, slightly domed handle and a robust, finely grooved screw. The seamless construction is notable for its clarity: no visible fastenings or hardware disrupt the minimal, fluid lines. Ergonomics and utility are combined, as the handle fits the hand comfortably and the screw mechanism efficiently cracks nuts with minimal force. The bold contrast between the crystalline transparency of the acrylic and the soft-touch black components highlights the mid-century Scandinavian aesthetic. It remains in excellent vintage condition—no chips, cracks, or significant wear visible, and the surfaces are clear and lustrous, bearing only minimal traces of past use. This small object introduces the spirit of 1970s Danish modernity into any setting. The transparent acrylic allows light to cascade through the sculptural form, echoing an era devoted to simplicity, experimentation, and the interplay between light and materials. The matte black details—silent notes of mid-century clarity—recall a time when function seamlessly informed appearance. Were this nutcracker to 'speak', it might tell of an age when everyday rituals were elevated by thoughtful material innovation and understated precision. This piece could be paired with hand-glazed ceramics or minimalist wooden bowls to emphasize textural contrast and restraint. It would work well on a pale, unadorned kitchen countertop or as an accent among other Scandinavian vintage accessories. Consider placing it next
