JENS QUISTGAARD MILLS

Though Jens Quistgaard's designs can be found though homes all over the world, my absolute favorite are his teak mills. Each one is sculptural and full of personality. When he founded Dansk in 1954, the mills were among the first of his designs.

Finding a mill here or there on Ebay or at a vintage store, is an exciting score for any mid century fan. If you're a serious (and flush) collector, you could purchase a large grouping of the original teak designs at 1st Dibs collection.  For me, a trip to the Sam Kaufman Gallery is in order, next time I'm in LA. Each mill has been displayed on it's own wood block across the gallery wall.

Lauren Manoogian

As the cool Fall weather is slowing approaching, I'm looking forward lots of soft cozy knits. Brooklyn based Lauren Manoogian attended RISD and Central Saint Martins to study knitware and textile design. Her designs are created using a handmade loom process and working with organic yarns. Each piece is simple yet sculptural and with an aesthetic heavy in art and design rather than fashion.
