The New Limited Edition UX Sansibar

What is a Sansibar? For those who are hearing it here for the first time, Sansibar is the most famous restaurant situated on Sylt, a top notch island off the coast of Germany and Denmark, right by the North Sea. Sited on sand dunes and facing the coast, Sansibar greets its visitors that include German dignitaries, with a pirate flag and the ubiquitous crossed swords emblem. http://www.sansibar-sylt.de/


If you are curious about where Sylt is, or how to pronounce it (as we were), visit http://en.sylt.de/ to see why Sylt deserves to be crowned "Queen of the North Sea".


Mr Seckler, owner and founder of Sansibar Sylt, receiving the 1st ever UX Sansibar on 21 May 2009. With him is Mr Lothar Schmidt, CEO of Sinn.



While I may not have been to Sylt, or the North Sea for the matter, the Crossed Swords emblem on a UX is definitely covetable...there is something wickedly rakish about it, dont you think?
