What customers say
These Arne Jacobsen ice tongs are overwhelmingly praised for their iconic, minimalist design, instantly elevating any home bar setup. Customers view them as collectible art pieces, appreciating the flawless execution in polished stainless steel. The substantial weight and robust build quality assure long term durability, reflecting high manufacturing standards. While the aesthetic appeal is paramount, often described as timeless and elegant, the premium price point is the main consideration.

Functionally they perform reliably, though some note a minor compromise in grip ergonomics for the sake of form.
Know before you buy
While designed specifically to match the aesthetic of the Cylinda-line collection, their minimalist satin-finish stainless steel design makes them versatile enough to pair well with most modern or classic ice buckets.
The drainage holes are integrated into the grip design to allow excess water to escape, ensuring you transfer only the ice to your glass. The tongs are engineered to maintain a secure hold on cubes despite these openings.
Yes, the tongs are dishwasher safe. Their durable stainless steel construction is designed to withstand regular cleaning without losing its satin finish.
The tongs measure 17.5 cm in length, 4 cm in width, and 1.2 cm in height, making them a compact and ergonomic tool for home bar use.
The brushed, satin-finish stainless steel is generally more forgiving than polished or mirrored surfaces, though like any metal barware, it may show light marks with frequent handling.
