About the Item

Highly important, Frederik Sieck's work on Danish furniture design is considered a classic and authoritative work. It gives a short illustrated review of developments that began with Kaare Klint's pioneering contribution. The description of the work of some 120 Danish furniture designers is accompanied by 520 Characteristic Illustrations. For the first time a handbook and blue book of Danish furniture design has been published, so now a reference work is available which in a matter of fact fashion provides important information on Danish furniture designers. The reader with no previous expertise is acquainted with the subject in an introductory chapter analysing the historic background for contemporary furniture design. 'This new readers can begin here' section provides a readily understandable presentation, written in a fluent style. It could be included in text books in every school that considers it its duty to give pupils a general education. 232pages. 750grams.

Modern Danish Furniture by Esbjorn Hiort (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
Modern 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...
