Dansk Designs Cat Silver Paperweight Swedish Scandinavian Design Scandi Style Retro Vintage
Vintage Dansk Designs Silver Plated Cat Paperweight.
Excellent vintage condition with only very minor signs of age.
This cute paperweight is made of silver-plated zinc.
Designed by award-winning Swedish silversmith, Gunnar Cyren, for Dansk Designs in the early 1970s.
It was made in Japan in the 1970s/80s and has ‘Dansk Designs, Japan’ on its base plus EPZ signifying its manufacturing technique of electro-plated zinc, a technology that the Japanese led the world in at the time.
As well as looking great, these paperweights are extremely tactile and have a real quality feel about them and make wonderful gifts.
_____________________________________________________________
Dansk Designs was started in the 1950s by an American who toured Europe seeking out talented designers to produce a range of homewares he could sell to the US market.
The range was designed to showcase Danish and Scandinavian design to an international audience and, due to their wonderful combination of form and function, Dansk Design items have become highly collectible including in their ‘home country’ of Denmark.

There may also be slight variations in the colours shown due to lighting, the camera lens and the device the image is viewed through.
