Contemporary Danish Design

About the Item

Vintage paperback book. By The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts and Industrial Design, published in 1960. First edition, 120 pages. This early survey of mid-century Danish design captures the international emergence of Denmark’s unique aesthetic in the postwar period. With an introduction emphasizing the balance between form, material, and production, the book celebrates the restrained elegance and technical precision that define Danish design. “Featuring contributions from leading voices in the field, Contemporary Danish Design documents the ideals, craftsmanship, and quality that propelled Danish makers to global recognition in the 20th century. A foundational publication in the canon of Scandinavian modernism.”
