Are you fond of fondue?

We picked up not one, not two, but three fondue sets at the weekend – it was a fondue frenzy!!

Strictly speaking, one of them is just a fondue pan, but the quality and pattern are so good that we couldn’t resist. It’s enamelled cast iron and produced by Le Creuset.

Next, we have a fabulous design by a fabulous designer – Jens Quistgaard. The pan & warmer was produced by his company Dansk Designs in the 1950s/60s. It comes from the Kobenstyle range and is functional and great looking too.

From cast iron and enamel onto stainless steel – and one of the material’s greatest exponents – namely Lundtofte of Denmark. This set has everything – pan, warmer, stand, forks… even the original box.

A fondue is a great idea for a dinner party with a twist – or delicious addition to an outdoor barbecue or picnic. All available in our web shop now.

L is for… Lundtofte

We picked up this fabulous vintage stainless steel coffee set last weekend.

That made our minds up about what the letter ‘L’ should be for!

Danish company Lundtofte produced high quality, stainless steel pieces – predominantly kitchen & dining wares, but also some decorative household objects.

They used top quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques – stainless steel often combined with teak or rosewood handles and finials.

There are some fantastic mid century modern designs to be found by designers such as Tias Eckhoff, Eric Herlow and Lone Sachs.

We have a few examples of vintage Lundtofte for sale at the moment in the H is for Home web shop – have a look!
