Ole

Designer Ole Jensen has created a range of sculptural, innovative designs - a large and varied dinnerware series called Ole. The individual utensils for the kitchen and table are created around a common idea: to unite form and function and turn work into play. Ole Jensen attaches great importance to the primary function of things and to the pleasure of performing everyday tasks.

Here are some examples of well-known functions that are used and experienced in a new way: the colander, which functions both as a strainer and, in a single movement, as a serving bowl. The juice jug, with built-in citrus press, with its narrow spout holding back the pips and the pulp. The cone-shaped grater, placed at an angle, is secured by the saucer's rounded shape. The decanter's round base and rolling motion make its contents come to life. The sturdy grip, which is part of the mug, rests on the table and is comfortable to hold. Tools for everyday life with innovation in form and function.

The materials in the Ole dinnerware series also have their individual identity. The porcelain has strength and whiteness, the faience the opportunity to use bright colours, the glass brings transparency and the metal distinguishes itself by its sharpness and cool colour.

Ole dinnerware series have been shown in the newly renovated Museum of Modern Art in New York. Ole dinnerware series is also to be found among other Royal Copenhagen products in exclusive restaurants and café.
