Freelance & Passion Projects

Dansk Designs' Fjord flatware, including two forks, two spoons, and a knife.

Dansk Designs a legacy of innovative dining & entertaining

While earning her MFA in Design Criticism from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Sarah wrote her master’s thesis, DANSK DESIGNS: Reinventing the American Tabletop, 1954–1985. Her research explored the history, design language, and cultural impact of the iconic brand, resulting in a 102-page scholarly document, a conceptual progressive dinner party, and a presentation at the inaugural 2010 DxCrit Conference. For more of the story, check out the video of Sarah's conference presentation, Mad About Dansk.

Building on this expertise, Sarah’s article “Set for Transition: Dansk Designs’ Fjord Flatware” was published in the Spring 2011 issue of Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture. And since this story is ongoing, Sarah is currently assisting with a book about Dansk, continuing her connection with the brand’s timeless design and lasting cultural influence.
