For serious furniture collectors, Danish is more than a pastry-it's an art form. Twentieth century Danish furniture design is simple and clean., mixes well with other design styles, and has an inherent value and history beyond its beauty. In Modern Danish, Andrew Hollingsworth explores the history of Danish design, from the earliest cabinetmakers' guilds in the 1770s through the impact of two world wars, and its evolution into the twentieth century. The book includes photographic surveys of Danish Modern furniture in homes across the Unites States; a market guide with tips, facts and resources that includes discussions of veneer vs. solid wood, places to find Danish Modern furniture, and a guide to caring for it; and an extensive resource section.

The translation of Per H. Hansen's magisterial history of Danish modern furniture has been eagerly awaited for some time. The book presents a refreshing perspective from a business historian who weaves together ideas about image, branding, and national identity to reposition the standard narrative of modern Danish furniture. Thoroughly researched and clearly argued, it makes valuable archival information available to the English reader for the first time and will become a standard reference on the subject.

Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery marks its 20th anniversary with the catalogue, The Anniversary Selection, in which we proudly present a selection of our most extraordinary and prized holdings. While our previous catalogues were devoted to specific designers or fields of crafts in the history of Danish Modern, the selection illustrated here is a more eclectic representation of the most exquisite pieces in our present collection. The Anniversary Selection includes both unique objects and rare works, handcrafted artifacts and industrial icons, but all of them possess the special character of material beauty that distinguishes the masterpieces of the Nordic Golden Age. Thus, the most important of the Danish furniture designers are represented in the catalogue, just as we present an insight into our collection of awarded Finnish art glass and the sculptural ceramics of Danish artist Axel Salto.
