Quistgaard was born in 1919 in Copenhagen, son of sculptor Harald Quistgaard. He was trained as a sculpture and used his mastery of form to turn functional items into "voorwerpen van kunst" (objects of art). Quistgaard's designs for Dansk helped to bring sophisticated European design into the average home.
