Dansk Flatware For A Great GiftSet up by a New York entrepreneur, Ted Nierenberg, Dansk is primarily a 'tabletop' company that manufactures exquisite tableware. Dansk flatware, aesthetically designed in Scandinavian styles, is very simple yet graceful. Dansk adheres to the philosophy that 'every product should be functional yet stylish. Catering primarily to the American lifestyle, Dansk products incorporate cool shapes, designs, and colorful patterns. The entire range of flatware and tableware items manufactured is dishwasher and microwave safe. Being user friendly, they have great value in the modern fast paced lifestyle. Dansk silverware is available in both economical boxed sets, and bridal patterns which are only sold by the place setting. The first ever pattern manufactured by Dansk was the Fjord. This pattern revolutionized the tabletop industry and firmly established the high quality standards followed by the company over the years. Though this pattern was discontinued in 1984, it was sold for some time at prices as high as $100 for a place setting. Exclusive flatware patterns have been manufactured by Dansk for more than 50 years. These days the most popular patterns are the Torun, Tjorn, and Rondure. A 5-piece place setting in the above three patterns includes a dinner fork, a salad fork, a dinner knife, a soup spoon, and a teaspoon. The 3-piece hostess set includes a butter serving knife, a serving fork, and a serving spoon. Other patterns available in a 5-piece place setting and a 3-piece hostess set are Bistro Cafe, Classique, Kongo, Odin, Umbra, Precision, Parallel Diamond and Variation V. The Bellini pattern is available in 5-piece serving set and a 5-piece place setting. Some patterns like Amager, Cafe, Blanc, Kobenhavn, Salerno, and Vantage are generally available in a 5-piece place setting only. Flatware is a preferred bridal gift in most countries of the world. Precision, Classique, Bistro Cafe, Variation V, and Parallel Diamond are some of the renowned 'bridal patterns' from Dansk. A five-piece place setting is the most preferred engagement gift. However, 3-piece hostess sets and single units in the Precision pattern are also very popular. Some of the recently discontinued Dansk patterns are Aalto, Alpha, Arte, Centry Frost, Emma II, Origami, Origami Frost, Reactic, Solara, Sollinge, Terrazzo, Torun Frosted, and Tsunami. People who own certain old Dansk patterns and want to get it replaced can do so by opting for various replacement programs. As far as repairs of old products are concerned, Dansk does not offer any such facility. Though not manufactured in the USA anymore, Dansk flatware remains a leader in American stainless flatware. Enormously popular for its simple and graceful patterns, the Dansk motto remains "Make it easy". |
