JENS HARALD QUISTGAARD:
The Danish designer, Jens Harald Quistgaard, was quite disliked among fellow designers in his time. A dominating functionalist school of designers thought that Quistgaard's designs were too decorative and not focused on function. Because of his Danish unpopularity, Quistgaard joined a collaboration with American 'Dansk Designs' to become the artistic leader for more than 40 years. So if you live in the US, you have probably come across Quistgaard's designs at some point - and you probably love his stylish tableware designs.
Today Quistgaard is celebrated (also in Denmark!) for his accurate and typical designs. These splendid plates from the 'Mexico' collection is a gorgeous example of how aesthetics and function emerged in the 70s
Be the envy at your next holiday gathering or dinner party. Rare design and you won’t find this size set anywhere!
