This 1950-60's Modernist bowl, the 'Krenit' bowl, was designed by mechanical engineer Herbert Krenchel for Torben Ørskov who put them in production in 1953. They won a gold medal on the Milano Triennale of 1954.

The bowls were made in six different sizes; the smallest. They were made between 1953 and 1964.
With its pure and simple appearance, the Krenit bowl is a classic design piece. Designed during the Golden Era of Danish Design in the 1950s, the Krenit bowl is as contemporary today, as it was then. Follow the story of this extraordinary bowl and its creator, the Danish material scientist Herbert Krenchel.
