  Cool Woodturning Book

  07.02.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  I found this cool book about woodturning.  The cover features a rare piece by Jens Quistgaard, abstracted shapes, and simple Helvetica type. It was published in 1970. The book features a few more Dansk pieces inside and has a ton of information on how to make just about anything on a lathe. There’s a few [...]

  Quistgaard Stokke Chair Reissue

  06.12.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  The Danish company Gubi is reissuing the Jens Quistgaard designed Stokke Chair.  This is a very nice chair that was originally produced in 1965 by Nissen. The original used teak or rosewood and had multiple different leather options.  The modern reissue uses black stained oak and black leather. This is a unique chair design because [...]

  Quistgaard Designed Home on the Market

  As everyone who has seen the Jens Quistgaard documentary knows, JHQ designed an entire house for Dansk co-founder Ted Nierenberg and his wife Martha. The upstate NY home is an amazing structure in a dramatic location – and it is now on the market. Neierenberg passed away about a year ago, and apparently his family [...]

  Quistgaard feature in Modernism Magazine

  03.22.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  There is a very long and detailed article about Jens Quistgaard in the Spring 2011 issue of Modernism Magazine. Written by Stig Guldberg – filmmaker of the “Saucepan for my Wife” documentary – the article is filled with information about Jens Quistgaard’s life and his design work. I have a subscription and just got the [...]

  Benny’s Antik Store

  My New Years Resolution is to finish writing about the trip we took several months ago, so I’d better get on with it… If you’ve seen the “Saucepan” documentary on Jens Quistgaard, you saw Benny’s antique store. After seeing the rooms full of JHQ’s designs, I had to visit it, so Henriette was nice enough [...]

  Strandgaarden Visit: The Workshop

  12.29.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  The room I was most looking forward to was visiting during our Danish adventure to Jens Quistgaard’s home was his workshop.  I had seen photos of the space, and it was featured in the “Saucepan” documentary. Although he wasn’t working at this house during his most productive period at the beginning of the Dansk line, [...]

  And after a few more week of not writing, we’re back to the story of our visit to Jens Quistgaard’s home. After lunch we did a little exploring of the property and the area. This is Mae and I in the courtyard, outside the front door of the main house.  Across the way was the [...]

  Another Quistgaard reissue

  11.20.10 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Exclusively through Crate and Barrel, Dansk has reissued a new version of the original staved teak ice bucket – which they are calling the “Jens” ice bucket.  Not to be confused with the more common ice bucket with the horn like handle, this more simple ice bucket – which came out first – is shaped [...]

  Strandgaarden Visit pt 1

  On the second day of our European trip, it was time to embark on our side-trip to the Danish countryside – the reason we went on this whole adventure in the first place.  We were invited by Jens Quistgaard’s daughter, Henriette Quistgaard, to visit the Quistgaards’ farm by the sea, where JHQ lived in the [...]

  Back from Denmark

  I’m back from my trip to Denmark (with a side trip to Paris).  What a trip!  I’m still getting over my jet lag and will need to write more in the next few weeks.  I had an amazing experience visiting Jens Quistgaard’s home, and for now I’ll just share this photo, of me sitting at [...]
