About Bastant
Bastant is a Danish design company that produces applied art of the highest quality. Our designs are beautiful, functional and timeless and exude luxury and aesthetics.
Kitchen roll holders as a trademark
Bastant's first and most well-known design is the unique brass paper towel holder, which has just sprung from the longing for a "bastant" paper towel holder on the market that can do its job much better than just holding a paper towel - namely to look both beautiful and aesthetically pleasing , to be able to be operated without the feeling of "dallers" and not least to be able to be operated with one hand without tipping over!
You can clearly feel the feeling of heaviness and robustness just by looking at the paper towel holder, and it is also a pleasure to handle it either during use or when it needs to be moved around. It simply sits well in the hand, and you are drawn to look at the beautiful brass and ingenious design.
In the presentation video below, you can see how we produce all our designs by hand in a local, Danish blacksmith factory:
From blacksmith to designer
The design for the kitchen roll holder was developed by blacksmith Martin Gruhl, where he designed and produced the holder in stainless steel - simply because, as a father of several children, he missed a nice but not least robust kitchen roll holder. Subsequently, friends and acquaintances began to want one like this, and before long the stainless steel version was standing around as hostess gifts in more and more homes.
Since then, the idea of the paper towel holder in other materials came, and soon we were able to launch our first version in brass and bronzed brass, and with them the interest from potential customers took off, and we took the step to open a webshop.
We develop all our designs ourselves, just as everything is produced by hand in a local, Danish factory. You can read more about our idea of a green set of values in our company right here.
