Danes have it sussed for design
A simple moulded Grass vase from Normman Copenhagen. Restrained, honest, practical, it has instantly won a place right in the centre of the table where it now holds angular catkin branches in a sturdy embrace.
With the fanfare of Swedish design, it’s easy to forget the enduring place the Danes have in modern design. Their artistic community has government support unrivalled the world over. One fifth of their economy is devoted to the furniture industry alone. Design successes include the familiar names of Carl Hansen, Copenhagen, Kjærholm Production, One Collection, and the Republic of Fritz Hansen.
