This set of coloured bowls belongs to the Krenit series designed by Danish designer Herbert Krenchel and manufactured / distributed by Torben Ørskov & Co. First introduced in 1953, Krenit was formed from extremely thin sheet steel, combining a vivid coloured enamel interior with a black matte exterior. It offered both everyday functionality and modern decorative appeal. The Krenit series was awarded the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennale in 1954, becoming one of the representative household design series of post-war Danish modern design.
Herbert Krenchel was originally a civil engineer and materials researcher, with a particular focus on materials, surfaces, and structure. The name Krenit combines Krenchel and Eternit, reflecting his interest in industrial materials and mass-production technology. Krenit pieces are known for the strong contrast between their black matte exteriors and bright coloured interiors. Through simple curves, thin edges, and precise proportions, they elevate kitchenware into modern design objects that combine function and beauty.
This set consists of coloured bowls from the Krenit series and features a stackable form for easy storage. The red-orange, yellow, pale blue, and blue enamel interiors, paired with black exteriors, present the bright and practical design language of Danish modern household objects from the 1950s and 1960s. The thin steel construction makes the pieces lightweight, while the enamel surface is easy to clean, making them suitable for cooking, serving, or display on the dining table.
This Krenit series was produced by Torben Ørskov & Co. in the 1950s and continued in production until the mid-1960s, but was later discontinued due to changes in the enamel manufacturing environment. In 2007, Herbert Krenchel and his family approached Normann Copenhagen, which led to the revival of the series. Normann Copenhagen reintroduced the Krenit series in 2008.
