Jens Quistgaard

Oar takes its name from its long handles and paddle-shaped heads—a familiar shape with a different job to do. 

Designed by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk, Oar belongs to a teak collection rooted in Danish woodworking. Quistgaard carved his own models, exploring playful forms directly in wood. His collaboration with Danish woodworker Richard Nissen helped bring those designs into production. Their work brought distinctive shapes and careful construction to bowls, boards, and serving pieces, helping make teak a defining presence on the midcentury American table.
