Info about the product

In the 1970s, the Ildpot stoneware series was welcomed by Danish households as a truly novel series of cookware. Women had entered the labour market, which was changing the way food was cooked and served. The pieces in the Ildpot series could be taken straight from the freezer to the oven and then to the dinner table. This made preparing the evening meal both easy and manageable. FDB has relaunched this iconic stoneware series, which was designed by the renowned architect and designer Grethe Meyer (1918-2008) who belonged to the Danish design elite and who worked throughout her life with the furniture designer Børge Mogensen. Grethe Meyer first and foremost wanted the Ildpot series to be functional. She therefore went to great lengths in shaping all the bowls and dishes to fit as neatly as possible into ovens and kitchen cupboards. She tested all the pieces in her own kitchen, thereby ensuring that they lived up to her functional and space-saving requirements. Ildpot is dishwasher-safe and microwave-proof, and can also be used on a gas hob. However, it is not suitable for using on bonfires.

Grethe Meyer

Grethe Meyer (1918-2008) was a pioneer in Danish industrial design in the decades after World War II. In 1947, she was trained as an architect from the Academy of Arts and quickly marked herself as one of her generation's most innovative and recognized designers. Her design is both classic and timeless, but most importantly, it is based on the demands of modernism for simplicity and functionality. She went scientifically and analytically to her work. Her design should simply be stackable and take the least possible space in the home's household. Therefore, her design has a special quality. A design that has personality and with a built -in respect for the user. For daily pleasure for those who use it. Among her most well-known series is the 1976 stoneware series Firepot, the Faience Stella Blåkant, which she designed for Royal Copenhagen in 1965, a steel cutlery for Georg Jensen in 1991 and the housing's building cabinets, which was a complete shelf and closet system, which she designed with the furniture architect, Børge Mogensen, in the 1950s. Due to its modern and timeless design language, Grethe Meyer's design is sought after today and is still part of many Danish households.
