I’ve been noticing that there has been a few Dansk pepper mill collections going up on eBay recently.  There have been at least 3, maybe 4.  Some small, a few quite large.  All have been sold one mill at a time (smart).
I’m wondering why this might be.  There are a few possibilities.
1.  The current economic [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on recent auctions.  There was a long time without much interesting happening over the summer, then a flurry of great auctions (not always mills) that I got a few good scores from, and then recently there’s been a few big, exciting auctions that have ended.

What an amazing day for our country.  I’m proud of us.

I was not aware, but Miyoko Ohtake posted more from my interview on the Dwell blog.  Check it out…

I’ve noticed over the last year that there has been a lot of Dansk pieices appearing in the Design Within Reach catalogs.  I’m always happy to get this eye candy in my mailbox, and overjoyed when Quistgaard’s work shows up as a prop.  I know from a friend who used to work at DWR that [...]

John Gruber published an essay on his Daring Fireball blog yesterday on the iPhone 3G.  It looks at the phone overall in it’s historical context as well as a detailed analysis of the new iPhone vs the original iPhone.  It’s a great read.

The Dansk website says that the new Fjord Classic flatware is featured in Oprah’s Magazine, so I picked up a copy at the drug store the other day to learn more about it.  I picked up “O at Home” by accident, not even knowing that there was a difference, and was astounded at the amount [...]

The Wallpaper magazine article mentioned a Christie’s auction for a pair of brass candlesticks that sold for $4,375.  I figured these must be some huge prototype or something but they seem to be the familiar candlesticks that were part of the early Dansk line for many years.  A pair is on eBay right now with [...]
