Let’s Dansk: These All-New Reissues Are Back to Grace Your Home

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.)

Holiday Linens Inspired by a 1930s Design Icon, Exclusively at Food52

In the 1930s, a time when America’s decorative arts movement was dominated by male designers, self-taught artist Marguerita Mergentime blazed a trail for herself as an innovator who introduced bold patterns to American homes. Though she designed many household items—flatware, glassware, china, and more—she is best known for her printed fabrics that blend folk art with asymmetrical or typographical touches. Her table linens were quite literally conversation starters—just take a peek at her “Food for Thought” tablecloth, featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s online collection.

Today, Marguerita’s vision feels just as fresh as it did then—which is why we’re so excited to announce the launch of our exclusive Food52 Mergentime Collection. In collaboration with Marguerita’s granddaughter, Virginia Bayer, who helped bring the designer’s extensive archive to life, we curated a selection of table linens, dish towels, and tree skirts that revive Marguerita’s bold designs. Just in time for the holidays, her iconic patterns will be the talk of your holiday table and home. Here are all the festive finds in our Mergentime collection, perfect for giving and getting.

Although the three-bedroom house looked classic from the outside, inside, it was an overwhelming mix of outdated styles and materials.
