I have listed several pieces of Danish Modern glass and some other items on eBay right now.  If you are interested view the auctions now >

I was going through old files and found a nice scan of the 1st article I penned for Ready Made magazine.  It’s the “Wall of Sound” CD rack.  With it you can hold about 1,300 CDs in a very small space.  The article was from 2003, but I built this in 1999, when it was […]

I heard from Dansk and it is true – they are reissuing 5 of Jens Quistgaard’s salt shaker pepper mill combos as part of their Wood Classics series. The new mills look pretty good, and there are several interesting differences between these mills and the originals.  It sounds like Dansk channeled the spirit of JHQ […]

OK Los Angeles has posted some photos of what they claim are the new Dansk JHQ pepper mill reissues.  Looks like the rumors might be true! According the OK, they are not quite as nice as the original mills, but better than the Thai mills produced towards the end of the run.  They have ceramic […]

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 […]

There’s a nice article about collecting Danish teak pepper mills on AOL’s ShelterPop site – which is a cool online magazine about DIY interior design.  It features a short interview with me and a photo of that amazing collection in LA.  Read the Mark Perlson interview here.

Due to popular demand, I have created some Danish Teak pepper mill shirts, featuring many of the most popular Jens Quistgaard designed Dansk pepper mills.  I created two versions, one with the “Danish Pepper” logo and one without.  Check out the designs in the photos below, but you can get them in dozens of styles […]

My friend and cousin John Rush died 10 years ago this weekend.  I cannot believe it has been that long. Since this blog is about design, I’ll just mark the occasion by saying that he was a great guy: very smart, very funny, and an amazing musician.  He was always in search something cooler and […]

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.

I found some evidence online that Dansk might be reissuing a few of their pepper mill designs by Jens Quistgaard.  They have given them names: Jane, Rosie, Jack, Hank, and Audrey.  It doesn’t look like they have released photos, but their distributors seem to have catalog listings. Can’t wait to see them!
