Digsmed Design Denmark - Attr. Flemming Digsmed - Bowl - Model 201 - Teak

Digsmed Design Denmark – attributed to Flemming Digsmed – large sculptural teak bowl – presumably model 201 – 1960s

Description

For the lover of authentic Scandinavian mid-century design: a particularly beautiful and imposing teak bowl from Digsmed Design Denmark, dating from the 1960s.

Designer: attributed to Flemming Digsmed

This large Danish bowl is crafted from carefully joined segments of teak (staved teak). Through this construction, a beautiful rhythm of different wood grains and color nuances emerges all around. The chunky, rounded wall and broad soft rim give the bowl a pronounced sculptural form that is characteristic of the best Danish wood design from this period.

The underside features the original inlaid green metal medallion with “DIGSMED DESIGN – Denmark” and the characteristic Viking helmet logo.

Model 201

In terms of shape and dimensions, this piece closely corresponds to documented Digsmed model 201 bowls. Known examples of model 201 have the same solid, bulbous form and a height of about 12–13 cm. Because this piece’s label itself does not show a visible model number, it is offered as model 201 in accordance with documented examples.

The bowl is not only functional as a large fruit or salad bowl, but due to its size, weight, and beautiful teak texture, it is also particularly decorative as a standalone design object.
