JENS H. QUISTGAARD
Jens H. Quistgaard set out to design beautiful things for everyday use. For many years he was the leading, and often, the only designer for Dansk International Designs which gradually became a world-wide firm with a production influenced in all fields by the homogeneity of his style. His works now appear so obvious it is easy to forget how original and individual they were in their time. He won the Lunning Prize in 1954.

price for the 12 spider candle sticks $ 360
One of Jens Quistgaard best known designs for Dansk was the “iron spider candlestick” which oddly was nicknamed the “million dollar candlestick”. It was not until I met one of the graphic designers who worked for Dansk that I learned how it got that nickname. There were a million of those small black iron pieces made and Quistgaard got a design fee of one dollar for each one. Hard to believe but it turned out to be true.
My wife and I visited Quistgaard on his farm outside Vordingborg in South Zealand, Denmark in 2004. He proudly showed us all around. In the living room, hanging on the wall, was a single iron spider candlestick. I asked Quistgaard, why he had a candlestick on his wall, and he told me, a very satisfied smile on his face, that it was to remind him that it was that small candlestick that allowed him to renovate his whole farm.
