Story

This jug, model 1621, was designed by Kaj Franck in 1955 and is an absolute classic of Scandinavian modernism. The object exemplifies his design ethos of a reduced, functionally based formal language.

The bulbous glass body in a soft smoky tone is contrasted by a cylindrical neck with fine raffia wrapping, creating a dynamic balance between materiality and proportion, not forgetting the secure grip when pouring.

As an object somewhere between a utilitarian glassware item and a design classic, this piece is equally suitable for everyday use and for a sophisticated collection of Scandinavian modern art.
