Scandinavian Industrial Design played influential role in the Mid Century Modern Design movement. The Danish designers used the new industrial technologies, combined with the philosophy of simplicity and functionalism. Much of these designs are conceived based on the Bauhaus school of thought many of which have become iconic and are still in use and production.
Mid Century Danish Industrial Design
Danish Industrial Design during the Mid Century Design has certainly occupied important place in the history of modern design. Hans Wegner’s Arm Easy Chair (plate 4A) is an interesting composition in curve lines. It has created concave and convex formation following human anatomy. ‘Egg Chair’ design by Ame Jacobsen (plate 4B) is a fascinating work that shows the elegance of curvature in minimalistic approach. “The PH-lamps (plate 4C) are a series of light fixtures designed by Danish designer and writer Poul Henningsen from 1926 onwards. The lamp is designed with multiple concentric shades to eliminate visual glare, only emitting reflected light, obscuring the light source. The lamps are still in production today.”
