The Dansk Kitchen & Table Essentials You’ll Find in Our Homes
From the butter warmer to the wood salad set, these are the Dansk goods we love.
If you're unfamiliar with Dansk—the Danish design brand that was founded in 1954 and has been part of the Food52 family for a while now—we'll bring you up to speed. From 1954 until the early 1980s, Dansk's designs were created by the Danish sculptor and designer, Jens Quistgaard. Pieces under the Dansk name are known for their iconic mid-century aesthetic and bright, bold color palettes. They're multi-functional (the lid of the Købenstyle saucepan, for example, doubles as a trivet), durable enough to last decades, and are uniquely beautiful wares you'll want to have out on display.
We might be a little biased, but here at Food52, we're big fans of Dansk's cookware, baking dishes, and serving accessories. So, we thought it was time to check in with our team to see which pieces from the Dansk lineup they find absolutely essential. From a small butter warmer to a wood salad set, here are five of our staff members' favorites.
1. Dansk Købenstyle Butter Warmer, $48
Don't be fooled by the name of this super-cute piece of cookware. Food Stylist Anna Billingskog raves about how it's “the perfect small pot for so many things, not just butter.” She also uses it reheat coffee and warm and froth milk. It's part of our Købenstyle collection—bundled together for the first time—and now in two, new limited-edition colors.
2. Dansk Købenstyle Casserole, $95+
“The two-quart Dansk casserole dish makes the perfect amount of pasta for your picky 7 year old who only eats pasta. I say from experience!” —Elizabeth Spiridakis Olson, Creative Director, Dansk
3. Dansk Købenstyle Saucepan, $72+
“I love the one-quart Købenstyle saucepan! It makes any little task—whether you’re whipping up a batch of hot chocolate or heating some soup—feel like a special event. And the pour spout? Just perfect.” —Maurine Hainsworth, Senior Copywriter
4. Dansk Købenstyle Wrapped Handle Water Pitcher, $95
“I’m in love with the Købenstyle Pitcher. It’s the sexiest pitcher alive, silhouette-wise, and the wrapped handle is a perfect little quirk.” —Nicole Davis, Managing Editor
5. Dansk Wood Classics 3-Piece Salad Bowl Set, $120
“My roommate loves to host dinner parties and a big salad is always part of the menu. Not only does this salad bowl easily fit any salad she dreams up, it also looks great on our table and always gets compliments.” —Julia Gómez Kramer, Commerce Editor
