Cylinda-Line Ice Bucket (with Original Tongs in Packaging) by Arne Jacobsen for Stelton (1960s) Denmark

Arne Jacobsen for Stelton — Cylinda-Line Ice Bucket (with Original Tongs & Packaging)
A beautifully preserved Arne Jacobsen ice bucket from the iconic Cylinda-Line, produced by Stelton in the late 1960s/early 1970s. This example is complete with its original stainless-steel tongs, still in their original paper sleeve - an increasingly rare combination and highly sought after by collectors of Danish modern design.

Crafted in brushed stainless steel, the bucket features Jacobsen’s signature pure cylindrical form, finished with a sculptural handle that pivots cleanly over the lid. Simple, balanced, and unmistakably modernist.

About Arne Jacobsen (1902–1971)

Arne Jacobsen was Denmark’s most influential modernist architect and designer. Trained at the Royal Danish Academy, he created some of the most recognisable pieces of the 20th century, including the Egg, Swan and Series 7 chairs. For Jacobsen, every element of a space - from the architecture to the cutlery - was an opportunity for clarity and good design.

The Cylinda-Line (1967) was his only full tableware collection and remains one of the great achievements of Scandinavian industrial design. Built entirely from seamless, brushed steel cylinders, it won the Danish ID Prize and quickly became an international design classic.

About Stelton

The Cylinda-Line defined the brand for decades - precise, architectural and beautifully engineered - and continues to be produced today. Early vintage examples with original components are increasingly hard to find.
