Mid Century Modern Michael Lax for Copco Cookware
Item Details
A set of Mid Century Modern Michael Lax for Copco cookware. The four pieces feature a simple classic design of silver tone cooking surfaces with wooden handles. This lot includes two saute pans, a lidded pot, and a spherical, lidded serving bowl. The items are marked to the base ‘Michael Lax Design – Japan – Copco’ and the model number and size. Lax (1929-1999) was an industrial designer who came to prominence in the 1960s due to his design of iconic cast iron enamelware for Copco. In 1954 he won a Fulbright Scholarship to Finland, where he immersed himself in the Scandinavian design aesthetic that was coming to prominence in the mid-20th century. He turned to sculpture later in life and also designed household products for Dansk, Rosenthal, Salton, Dunbar Glass, and, most recently, Metaal, for which he created sculptured aluminum bowls.
