If you know us, you know we love Dansk, the heritage brand that we added to the Food52 family in 2021. Adored by collectors and our community, Dansk helped popularize the mid-century modern look in America through its streamlined, stylish household goods designed by Danish artist, Jens Quittsgaard. You’re probably very familiar with one of his collections: the boldly colored Købenstyle line of cookware and pitchers that became instant bestsellers—and props for stars like Sarah Jessica Parker—when we reissued the collection with new and limited-edition colors.

Now, we’re excited to announce a brand-new assortment of Dansk classics in our Shop, perfect for holiday gifting and setting your table, Scandinavian-style. These new Dansk reissues are all based upon Jens' original designs, and include pieces that will make entertaining more magical this season, from teak salad bowls to iconic candle holders. Here are a few of the time-tested pieces you’ll want to add to your growing Dansk collection—we’re pretty sure you’ll be just as smitten with them as we are. (Plus, on Nov. 14, you can take 30% off with code DANSK30.)
