normann copenhagen | krenit salad servers | black
Dimensions: 30 x 3.5cm
Material: melamine
The melamine Krenit salad servers are inspired by the simple form language of the East. The salad server set's long pointed handles reflect the traditional chopsticks, and the bowl is the epitome of simple and clean expression.
Simplicity and balance is the essence of the Krenit series. More than 50 years after Herbert Krenchel, materials researcher and civil engineer, designed the Krenit salad bowl and serving set, the minimalistic design is now part of the Normann Copenhagen collection. The salad set first went into production in 1953.
Use for everyday use or special occasions - the servers are made from melamine and are dishwasher safe.

Jan Anderson and Poul Madsen teamed up to create the Normann Copenhagen brand in 1999 with a vision to make a difference in the design industry. Three years later they launched the first product, the lamp Norm 69. Within five years more than 38 products followed, as well as collaborations with established design names and new talent from around the world.
In 2005, Jan and Poul moved from a small design store at Strandboulevarden to an old 1700m2 cinema at Osterbro in Copenhagen. They were determined to create a unique retail environment that would add something new and exciting to Copenhagen. Today the store has not only won several prizes as the coolest design store in Copenhagen, but also serves as a platform for great parties, fashion events, art exhibitions as well as small happenings. Normann Copenhagen loves to challenge the conventional design rules. This is why you will find traditional materials put into untraditional use such as a washing-up bowl in rubber, a vase made out of Silicon and last but not least a dog made out of plastic. Normann Copenhagen is a way of living - a mindset, a way to view the world in a new and different way.

Herbert Krenchel’s research was focused on materials and fibre reinforcement. Since the 1950’s, simultaneously with his research, Herbert Krenchel has worked with design. The enamelled Krenit bowl won the gold medal at the 1954 Milan Trienale.
"I am excited about shapes and structures. The surface on a design object is important because it makes people want to reach out for it. I also believe that there has to be a balance between function and aesthetics. A good design must therefore contain more than one aspect to make the perfect overall impression. My inspiration comes from several things surrounding me - it can’t be explained. For me design is a way to express yourself – it’s a way to create things just the way you want it." says Herbert Krenchel
