Description from the seller
Richard Nissen – Nissen Trævarefabrik Danmark – vintage nut bowl with integrated nutcracker - 1970s-1980s
A special and ingenious piece of Danish design by Richard Nissen, produced by Nissen Danmark.
This sculptural nut bowl is crafted from fine solid beech wood and features an integrated mechanical nutcracker. The design characteristicly combines functionality with a minimal, organic form in a distinctly Scandinavian way.
The nutcracker is an integral part of the bowl. A walnut or other nut is placed against the black face, after which the metal screw is tightened by turning the large black ring. The spacious, recessed wooden bowl serves both to present the nuts and to catch the shells.
Particularly striking is the contrast between the warm, light-colored beech wood, the natural metal screw mechanism, and the black elements of the nutcracker. As a result, the object has a pronounced decorative and sculptural presence even when not in use.
Richard Nissen played an important role in the Danish wood industry and steered the family factory Nissens Trævarefabrik toward high-quality Danish Modern design from the 1950s onward. The company worked, among others, with Jens Harald Quistgaard.

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
