This hefty book offers the last word on the Danish Mid-Century Modern lookDanish design is central to what has come to be known as the mid-century modern style; its iconic pieces are still considered classics and continue to inspire designers all over the world. But if pieces like Hans J. Wegner's Y Chair (1950) and Finn Juhl's Chieftain Chair (1949) carry an aura of timeless elegance now, they were born of a specific historical context.In a new postwar welfare society, the demand for new kinds of furniture for new kinds of homes, workplaces and public institutions was booming. Danish furniture designers, cabinetmakers and industrial furniture factories were ready to deliver, with figures like Wegner, Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, B rge Mogensen, Poul Kj rholm and Verner Panton each contributing their own unique vision of what postwar modernity would look like.
