Perhaps no other Danish designer was as prolific as Jens Quistgaard - furniture, silverware, jewelry, household items, and cookware he left a legacy of over 4000 design items. Born into an artistic home in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1919 Jens Harald Quistgaard demonstrated creative abilities from a young age and while still a child he built a small workshop in his mother’s kitchen, complete with a vice and anvil.
