Several examples of the famous Margrethe bowl, named in 1954 after the young Princess Margrethe (later Queen Margrethe II), can be found in the excellent Design Museum in Copenhagen. It was designed for the Rosti company (founded in 1944 by Rolf Fahrenholtz and Stig Jørgensen) by Sigvard Bernadotte and Acton Bjørn, and has become an affordable and functional design classic which is available in a range of sizes and colours. Over 25 million Margrethe bowls have now been sold and it remains as popular as ever (and has even featured on a Danish postage stamp).
