The Danish Chair: An International Affair

A beautifully designed and deeply researched tribute to one of Denmark’s most iconic design contributions — the chair. The Danish Chair explores the evolution of 20th-century Danish seating design and celebrates the craftsmanship, innovation, and global influence of the country’s most revered designers.

Structured around chair types, the book examines how Danish designers like Hans J. Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Børge Mogensen, Finn Juhl, and Poul Kjærholm reinterpreted and refined historical styles to create timeless works of functional art. Drawing from both local tradition and international inspiration, their relentless pursuit of “the perfect chair” helped define Danish design on the global stage.

This richly illustrated volume is based on the permanent exhibition at Designmuseum Danmark and written by the museum’s Head of Exhibitions and Collections, Christian Holmsted Olesen.
