'Jens Quistgaard is a designer's book, tightly focused on materials and construction details. This is apparent from the moment you pick it up.' -- The New Yorker 'lluminating! After twenty years spent gaining the trust and friendship of this reclusive genius, Stig Guldberg's timely monograph is a triumph.' - Dan Tolson, International Director, Modern Decorative Art + Design, Bonhams 'Guldberg's lifelong passion for Quistgaard's design universe and the writer's enormous knowledge of his subject makes the book a well written, entertaining and eye opening portrait of one of Denmark's great designers.' - Holger Reenberg, Director, HEART, Herning Museum of Contemporary Art (DK) 'While the book is rich with photography, it is certainly much more than a picture book. Most importantly, I am finding it to be truly interesting. I think this book may be now one of the most attractive in my design library.' - Paul Thonis, Former Director of design at Dansk International Designs and at Lenox 'With a lifelong admiration for Quistgaard's extraordinary talent, I am delighted to experience such a handsome and comprehensive work as Stig Guldberg's book on one of Denmark's absolute greatest designers.' - Thomas Schlosser Svendsen, CEO of KLASSIK Copenhagen
