Designer
Ole Jensen (b. 1958) is a highly recognised Danish designer who studied at the Arts and Crafts College in Kolding, Denmark, and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was originally focused on ceramic, but has later on broadened his work considerably. He has taught at several design schools, exhibited his works worldwide and co-founded and served as a member of several design associations and councils.
Ole Jensen’s design philosophy is about ideas and materials being closely related. The idea takes its form only when working with the material. Good examples of this are products designed for Normann Copenhagen such as the washing-up bowl and brush, the dustpan and broom and the Jensen bowls or the Vitamin Container bowl created for Muuto. Ole Jensen has won several famous design awards, including the Formland Prize 2002 (for the dustpan and broom) the Design Plus Award 2002 (for the washing-up bowl), the Design Plus Award 2005 (for the Jensen bowls), the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg’s Prize, the Red Dot Design Award, the If Product Design Award and the Good Design Award. Ole Jensen has been featured in several publications and is represented in a number of museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, the Röhsska Museum, Gothenburg, Sweden, and the Danish Museum of Art &Design, Copenhagen.

For the last 8 years we have had a series of these brushes beside the kitchen sink. They are not for scrubbing but for gently caressing clean fine china and glass. Ancient plates that had been hidden in cupboards because they would not survive the dishwasher are now used for grilled cheese sandwiches at lunch because it is fun to wash them with the brush and then polish them dry with a fine linen dish towel.

Ricevuto spazzola per piatti con evidenti spaccature sul manico di legno. Ho inviato una e-mail più di dieci giorni fa, allegando foto dell’oggetto, non ho ricevuto risposta (se non quella automatica). Inviata nuova email oggi, anche questa senza risposta. Scrivo questa recensione perché non so come contattarvi
