Cylinda Line Ice Tongs
by Arne Jacobsen from stelton
cylinda line ice tongs
Design Arne Jacobsen, 1967
Stainless steel
Made by Stelton
The well-designed ice tongs feature useful holes in the "grip end" to catch hold of the ice and also allow excess melting ice to flow back into the ice bucket.
Made in stainless steel and with shapes based on standardized steel tubes, Cylinda Line offered a modern and functional alternative to traditional silverware when it was launched in 1967. Based on the high-precision aesthetic of industrial production, Arne Jacobsen developed an original service in stainless steel in partnership with the manufacturer Stelton. Ever since, the series has been widely recognized as an iconic industrial design.
Cylinda Line's taut, geometric expression is characteristic of Arne Jacobsen's work during the 1960s, when he moved away from the free, organic forms that characterize his furniture from the 1950s and instead embraced an expression based on repetition and basic geometric shapes. While few of the furniture designs Arne Jacobsen created based on these principles attained the status of design classics, Cylinda Line earned an instant place in design history. Immediately after the launch, the series was awarded the Danish Design Council's ID Prize, and it since went on to receive many international awards.
The ice tongs are crafted in a satin-finish stainless steel, matches both the small and the large ice bucket. A must-have for the home bar.
