It traces the family relations between the chairs and shows how they influenced each other in terms of detailing, construction and concept. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesign was the cultural phenomenon that put Denmark on the world map in the mid-20th century. The international brand of Danish design arose in 1949 when American journalists began to write about the Danish furniture at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibition. This was not only the beginning of an important export opportunity but was also taken up as a challenge by Danish designers, who became world-renowned for their obsession with creating the perfect chair. Prominent figures such as Hans J. Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, B rge Mogensen, Finn Juhl and Poul Kj rholm were constantly seeking to refine existing chair types, and the chair became the touchstone, the true measure of the designer's skill. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Danish Chair\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly visual introduction to the Danish chair of the 20th century. It is based on a permanent exhibition of the same name that opened at Designmuseum Danmark in 2016 and written by the museum's head of exhibits and collections, Christian Holmsted Olesen.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 10.6 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 19, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769692684576,"sku":"9788793604315","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8be3c7114ec5dbac4086e679a1b1983e.webp?v=1780353746","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-danish-chair-an-international-affair-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
