Dansk "Congo" Staved Teak Ice Bucket – Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Designs, 15.5" – Danish Modern Classic
A classic example of Scandinavian Modern design, this Dansk "Congo" ice bucket was designed by Jens Quistgaard and made in Denmark during the 1960s. Crafted from richly grained, staved teak, it features a sculptural silhouette with a rounded body, flared base, and iconic lid that doubles as a handle. At 15.25 inches tall, this version is slightly more compact than the monumental 19" edition but equally elegant and functional.
The interior is lined with durable white plastic, preserving its utility as a true barware essential. Whether used for entertaining or displayed as a sculptural accent, this piece brings warmth, sophistication, and collectible appeal to any modern home.
