The Nissen family business was founded in 1890. in the first years of its existence it mostly made barrels & similar products. in 1955 Nissen became the main contractor for all the wooden product lines from the American company DANSK design, where the famous Danish designer & sculptor Jens Harald Quistgaard was head of design. All those highly sought after wooden DANSK Quistgaards designs were all made by Richard Nissen. The cooperation ended around 1970 as wood crafting in Denmark became too expensive for DANSK & since then DANSK started producing its designs elsewhere. As of 1971 Richard Nissen continued to design & make wooden product on its own & under its own name. The 1980s were hard times for Danish design & especially for a small independent company like Nissen, eventually leading to Nissen being taken over by Bodum.
