  Ted Nierenberg, Founder of Dansk, Died

  08.04.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  Ted Nierenberg died last Friday at the age of 86, according to the New York Times, who published a very nice obituary in today’s paper.  Nierenberg should be credited with the inspiration and ingenuity to bring Jens Quistgaard’s designs to life as mass produced goods.  His legacy as a visionary, salesman, and businessman – especially […]

  The Wheeler Dansk Collection

  I found this great photo on the Mint Design Blog of Dan Wheeler’s collection of Dansk pitchers and teak bowls.  Really cool.  The article mentions a collection of pepper mills, but no photo unfortunately.

  Happy Birthday Danish Pepper

  It’s been a whole year since I put in my order for the first 50 copies of the book Danish Pepper.  It seems like just yesterday. Thanks so much to all the people who purchased it over the last year and have helped support my efforts to get the word out about Jens Quistgaard and […]

  Dansk Auction Watch

  04.29.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

Well, if […]

  Dansk “Classic Fjord”

  04.25.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  The nice folks at Dansk have been busy lately.  Their latest is a a series of aluminum serving dishes inspired by some of Jens Quistgaard’s teak classics from the early days of Dansk.  The Dansk site does not credit JHQ with the pieces, but I’m sure that 2 of these pieces (one comes in two […]

  Dansk Auction Watch

  It’s been a while, but its time for a roundup of recent (and one present) auctions on eBay.  Between the holiday and the economic crisis, there hasn’t been much action.  A few cool things here and there, but it has been slow.  Prices are down a little, but holding.  I find myself surprised at both […]

  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 […]
