About the Item
Published in 1950 by The Museum of Modern Art - MOMA, this is a scarce soft covered book which features the designs of the winners and those who got special mention at The International Competition for Low Cost Furniture Design 1950.
At the end of the second world war there was a tremendous housing problem and homes were becoming much smaller and to help make them more comfortable and easier to live in, the furniture had to be effectively planned and at a scale to suit. So the competition was launched, to develop ideas for low-cost furniture suited to living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, the response was tremendous and in this book you can see some of the best designs by such as Charles Eames, Hans Wegner, Don Knorr and Georg Leowald.

- Modern Danish Furniture by Esbjorn Hiort (Book)Located in North Yorkshire, GBModern Danish Furniture is the third volume of a series of books on modern Danish applied art. This volume, like the earlier ones, is edited by the Danish architect Esbjorn Hiort, M.A.A., who has written the introduction. While Danish silver and Danish ceramics have long been well known and in great demand in foreign countries - especially among collectors - it has only been during the past ten years or so that Danish furniture has gained an international reputation. In his introduction, the author describes the modern development in this field, explains the reasons for the high artistic and technical standard of Danish furniture, and points out the characteristic details of the work of the leading Danish furniture designers. In the picture section there are numerous illustrations of unique pieces of the cabinet-maker's art as well as of fine examples of Danish commercial furniture...Category
