Bio:
Herbert Krenchel (1922–2014) was a Danish materials engineer and designer, best known for the Krenit bowl, introduced in 1953. The name Krenit combines his surname with the material Eternit, which he worked with as an engineer. The Krenit series received the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennale in 1954 and is today regarded as one of the defining classics of post-war Danish design.
