Into the Archives of Jens Quistgaard

Quistgaard, a pivotal figure in American design, served as the principal designer at Dansk for three decades. Despite producing over 4,000 creations for the American homeware brand, he remains an underappreciated name in both the US and his native Denmark. As Piet Hein remarked, Quistgaard was an “unknown, world-famous figure,” celebrated by icons like Andy Warhol and sharing accolades with legends such as Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.
