  BUY NOW: amzn.to/3ITnkvW The new book by Stig Guldberg titled “Jens Quistgaard, The Sculpting Design” will be officially released on March 8. I can’t recommend it enough. This book is – by far – the most complete, most beautiful, and best researched book on Quistgaard. And it’s in English. Phaidon has gone all out in […]

  Herning Heart Museum Quistgaard Exhibit

  09.27.15 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’m still a bit overwhelmed after my visit to the JHQ exhibit in Denmark. I knew it would be great, and I knew I’d learn a lot, but I was not prepared for such a dramatic experience. I’m not the typical visitor to the museum. I guess an archaeologist has different criteria visiting a natural history […]

  Quistgaard Exhibit – One week away!

  08.24.15 | Permalink | Comment?

  You have one more week to make it to central Denmark to catch the opening of the “Design by Jens Quistgaard” exhibit at the Heart Herning Museum of Contemporary Art. I saved the best photo for last – an amazing collection of pepper mills. Some common, some rare, and some that must be one-of-a-kind prototypes. […]

  I’m pleased to help spread the word about the first museum exhibit of Jens Quistgaard’s work. It starts Aug 29th at the Heart Herning Museum of Contemporary Art in Herning, Denmark. Judging from all that I have heard, this is a must-see for any fans of Danish Design and especially collectors of Jens Quistgaard’s work. The […]

  Rare thrift find – Dansk mill

  01.12.13 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  I love going to thrift stores. You never know what you might find. I’ve found lots or random Dansk, Heath, Krenit, many other vintage pieces, and a guitar amp. I’ve been able to sell and enjoy much of what I’ve purchased. But nothing that’s blown my mind. And this is exactly what happened with teakpepper.com […]

  Dansk in modern marketing

  01.07.13 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  I got home today to a new DWR and CB2 catalog.  Great day – my house is still somewhat new so I’m always on the lookout for the right furniture. Right there on the cover of DWR – to follow up last month’s amazing station wagon – was a smooth flamestone coffee cup.  The same […]

  Dansk in Dwell

  08.29.12 | Permalink | Comment?

  The cover story of the most recent issue of Dwell Magazine is a profile of Toronto collector Dr. Kenneth Montague. It has some great photos of his penthouse, which features an amazing roof deck, a series of Calder prints, and – yes – Dansk teak. The photos feature many Dansk pieces, including a glimpse of a […]

  Unusual Mark on Bowl

  04.01.12 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  I found this vintage Quistgaard bowl at a local shop and it has a somewhat unusual mark.  Not sure if I’ve seen the bowl before, or if I have seen this mark before. Let me know in the comments if I’m just crazy after seeing too many teak bowls.

  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 […]

  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 […]
