Danish Modern: Design for Living
The Nordic Heritage Museum presents an eye-catching and interactive exhibition "Danish Modern: Design for Living." On view from May 16 through August 31, the exhibit will highlight the unique furnishing designed and made in Denmark during the 1950s and 1960s. Dozens of vintage pieces from the period will be on display by designers such as Paoul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Niels Otto Møller, Borge Mogensen, and Hans Wegner. Wegner will be featured with his most popular designs including the Round Chair, later known simply as “the Chair” after it gained wide popularity in televised presidential debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. IMAGE: Egg chair and ottoman by Arne Jacobsen, designed in 1958 (Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art)
