With over 150 examples of Danish chair design by 66 premier designers, Danish Chairs surveys the innovative and prolific output of Denmarkâs design elite. Intended for designers and furniture enthusiasts, the book showcases the beauty of the Danish chair's functional design and strong yet spare architecture, with its elegant, organic curves. The book's cover uses schematic line drawings and the bold palette of the Danish flag to highlight the sculptural quality of Arne Jacobsen's Laminated Chair No. 4130.
