Description

With over 150 examples of Danish chair design by 66 premier designers, Danish Chairs surveys the innovative and prolific output of Denmark’s 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.
