Herbert Krenchel
Civil engineer Herbert Krenchel, born April 16, 1922 in Frederiksberg, Denmark.In 1953, Herbert Krenchel designed an enamel bowl which became the famous Krenit Bowl. The name Krenit is a combination of the name Krenchel and eternit (a fibre cement which Herbert Krenchel worked with in his job as material engineer). The bowl has a distinct design with its matte black outside, thin edge and clear colored enamel inside. In 1954, the bowl won a gold medal for its unique design in Triennalen (Milano, Italy). Up until the production stopped in 1966 the bowl had been produced in more than 1 million units.
Now the original minimalist design has been re-launched by Normann Copenhagen and is available in these beautiful colors and sizes.
