Dansk Kobenstyle Enamel Cookware has become a new infatuation for me these days. I had first admired my friend Ann's blue enamel baking pan for its simplicity of design, ease of use and beautiful form.
These early vintage pieces by Dansk International Designs have become modernist icons, finding their way into the collections of MOMA New York, The Louvre, and the Smithsonian Institute. Originally designed in the early 1960's, and in perpetual production until the 1980's.
The most clever design solution displayed in these items is the handle to the lid, which when hot can be simply lifted by inserting a spoon under the handle, where it rests snugly allowing you to safely open the hot dish with the utensil.
Dansk Kobenstyle Enamelware was originally manufactured by the Danish company Glud & Marstrand, but by 1966 had been transitioned to manufacture by a French supplier. The cookware is most often compared with French manufacturer Le Creuset, although lighter and more modern. The most sought by collectors are the Danish examples, exhibiting Dansk's original "Four Ducks" logo. The initials "IHQ" are the mark of Designer Jens Quistgaard.

-Boil a large stock pot, large enough to submerge the piece of cookware to clean in boiling water.
-Add 3-5 Tablespoons of Baking Soda to the water and allow the cookware to sit submerged in the -boiling solution for 10 + minuets.

Above is a collection of interior spaces by Verner Panton, collected from many locations and periods in his great career. Verner Panton (13 February 1926 – 5 September 1998) is an incredible industrial and interior designer, considered one of Denmark's most influential. A noted point of Panton's early career and formative influence was a 2 year employment from 1950-1952 with Arne Jacobsen. Panton was the first to conceptualize the single injection mold chair in plastic, and imagined such things as a Collapsible House (1955), and a Plastic house (1960) (I die!).
