The Designer Jens Quistgaard:
\nA Saucepan for my Wife
\nHe just wanted to make a saucepan for his wife. That\u2019s how it all began.<\/p>\n

Many American\u2019s are familiar with Quistgaard\u2019s designs, but few have met the man.\u00a0 For the first time, the designer invites a camera into his home, with filming ending only a few months before his death in 2008 at nearly 89. Follow Quistgaard at close range in his unique home; watch him in action at work; and hear him talk of his life, his work and what drives him as a designer.<\/p>\n

As chief designer of Dansk Designs, Quistgaard designed for table and kitchen \u2013 everything from flatware, saucepans and pitchers to glassware, trays, bowls and pepper mills of teak and exotic woods. The idea was to create a sense of aesthetic and functional unity for all objects we place on the table.\u00a0 Quistgaard\u2019s designs put a new and practical stamp on kitchens and tables in many American homes.<\/p>\n

The film shows examples of the breadth and range of his output and includes unique 16 mm clips from the 50s and early 60s. His designs from the 1950s\u00a0 and 1960s have become prized by collectors all around the world, and after his death a number of his designs have once again been put into production.<\/p>\n

Duration: 36 min.\u00a0 English subtitles<\/p>\n

Production: ABC Film 2009<\/p>\n

Produced with funding from Daninish Ministry of Education; Danish National Bank Anniversary Foundation; The West Danish Filmfund; Danish Union of Journalists Copyright Fund; Ellen & Knud Dalhoff Larsens Fund; 15 June Fund.<\/p>\n
