Arne Jacobsen | Kitchen utensils
Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is the most celebrated post-war Danish designer and architect. He graduated from the School of Applied Arts in 1924 and from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied architecture, in 1927. Arne Jacobsen worked actively both as an architect and as a designer and received many prestigious awards for his designs, including C. F. Hansen Medal and the Grand Prix of Milan XI Triennale.
Jacobsen’s most famous project was the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (1956-1960), for which he designed every detail from textiles and lamps to cutlery and furniture. The AJ lamps, designed for the Royal Hotel and manufactured by Louis Poulsen, are a fine example of his streamlined and elegant style. The cutlery designed for the Royal Hotel and produced by Georg Jensen, represents a stylish design that is still today much praised. Also, the famous Egg and Swan chairs were designed for the Royal Hotel. As often happened with Arne Jacobsen’s designs, they were initially realized for a certain project and only later put into serial production – the same happened for the AJ lamps, the cutlery and the furniture he designed for the hotel. Royal Hotel was an extremely important project for Jacobsen because he could finally put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practice.
Jacobsen is well-known also for the Cylinda Line range, designed for Stelton in 1967. Since the very beginning, Cylinda Line has been an undisputed icon of Scandinavian design and today the range is part of numerous permanent collections in design museums all over the world.

There’s no kitchen without kitchen utensils: you need a whole array of cooking utensils for preparing, cooking and storing food. But luckily, by investing in a set of good-quality kitchen utensils, you can reduce the need of buying new ones every now and then. When talking about kitchen utensils, quality usually means simplicity.

Kitchen utensils inspired by Scandinavian design
The amount of cooking utensils needed in the kitchen greatly varies depending on your level of cooking enthusiasm. A minimalist home chef can do just fine with just a few spatulas, cutting boards and kitchen vessels, but a decent salt grinder, citrus squeezer and cheese knife definitely make cooking and serving food smoother and more enjoyable. Small kitchen utensils such as wine and bar accessories or mortars and pestles also make great gifts for anyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen. What's more, well-designed cooking utensils can also add to the kitchen decor and bring joy even when not in use.
