Danish modern, also known as Scandinavian modern, is a style of minimalist furniture and housewares from Denmark associated with the mid-20th Century Danish design movement. In the 1920s, Kaare Klint embraced the principles of Bauhaus modernism in furniture design, creating clean, pure lines based on an understanding of classical furniture craftsmanship coupled with careful research into materials, proportions, and the requirements of the human body. Designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner helped bring about a thriving furniture industry from the 1940s to the 1960s. Adopting mass-production techniques and concentrating on form rather than just function, Finn Juhl contributed to the style’s success. Additionally, minimalist Danish housewares such as cutlery and trays of teak and stainless steel and dinnerware such as those produced in Denmark for Dansk International Designs and C.H.R. Jensen expanded the Danish modern aesthetic beyond furniture. Interest in Danish Modern in the United States began when the Museum of Modern Art purchased some items for the Fallingwater home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. From the beginning of the 1950s, American manufacturers obtained licenses for the mass production of Danish designs while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship. Sales peaked around 1963, but when American manufacturers introduced molded plastic and wood-grained Formica as cheaper substitutes, they started to decline in favor of Mediterranean designs. In the late 1990s Danish modern and the broader mid-century modern movement experienced a revival in international interest. Today, Denmark’s 400 furniture and housewares companies employ roughly 15,000 people, and produce goods worth around $2 billion.
