The Danish Chair: An International Affair

Presents 110 Danish chairs and charts their success at home and abroad from the mid-20th century until the present day.

The chair has always been the touchstone of designers and the design historian's favourite object.

In a very unique way this book shows, not just in words but also with drawings and photos, how Danish chairs are built on historical furniture types, which are then refined into the infinite. The message and the explanation for the international success of Danish furniture is this; Danish furniture design is based on foreign culture and the best creations of former times.
