  Fans of designer Jens Quistgaard will appreciate that his family has taken over all of his designs and is working to do more with them in the future.  Learn more at their new site.

  It’s been a year…

  01.30.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  A little over a year ago, on Jan 4, 2008, Jens Quistgaard died at 88. I found out a few weeks later while finalizing the research for my book, Danish Pepper.  I was scouring Danish design sites late at night using a free online translator to see if there were any additional biographical facts I [...]

  DWR=Dansk Within Reach?

  10.24.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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 [...]

  Flamestone Reissue by Dansk

  10.20.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  A month after Fjord Classic flatware made its appearance, Dansk comes out with a resissue of Flamestone dinnerware collection.  A great time for Dansk collectors! Featuring many of the best original pieces – as well as a few new ones – the collection is a great addition to Quistgaard’s legacy, again in production. Flamestone was [...]

  I’m pleased to announce that the November issue of Dwell magazine has a full page article about Jens Quistgaard and his teak pepper mills.  The article features a prominent mention of my book Danish Pepper as well a few quotes from yours truly.  There are three of my pepper mill photos as well, one that [...]

  O So Modern

  10.07.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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 [...]

  Christie’s Auction whaaaaa?

  09.30.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  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 [...]

  Wallpaper Magazine Article

  09.29.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  The October 2008 issue of Wallpaper magazine has a very nice article on JHQ.  It has the basic bio on Quistgaard with a focus on on his relative anonymity in Denmark and his increasing attention from the design world at large – he’s finally getting “the glory he deserves.” The best part of the article [...]

  Fjord Lives!

  09.17.08 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Dansk has reissued Fjord flatware after being off the market for 24 years.  That is fjantastic! You can find the Fjord placesettings and carving sets at Amazon or directly through Dansk. The product that launched Dansk itself in 1954 was Fjord flatware, and it is great to see it back on the market.  It looks [...]
