Form Portfolios acquires lifestyle brand Dansk

Design company Form Portfolios has acquired Dansk, the homewares brand co-founded by Danish modernist Jens Quistgaard, and plans to "carry forward everything Dansk represents".

Dansk, which is often credited with introducing Scandinavian style to the US in the 1950s, is known for products such as its Kobenstyle cookware and teak salad bowls.

It has now been acquired by US-based design company Form Portfolios, which has been working with Quistgaard's family since 2023 on the management of the late designer's estate.
