Introduction

Danish design has always been ahead of the times, mixing functionality with simplicity and since then becoming iconic in the design world. The egg chair was a masterpiece by a Dane, as was the Sydney Opera House!

Let us take a look at 60 years of Danish furniture design and see what has changed from 1952 to now.

1950′s Danish Furniture Design

A late industrialisation in Denmark meant that the early 1950’s were a prime time for those in the design industry. Focus was mainly on furniture, although architecture was another key part of the trend.

Whenever you want to add some exclusive look to your furniture collection you can check this ultra modern retro sofa from Leolux, called The Morena sofa. This designed is signed by Stefan Heiliger, and is described as a “sculptural form melting towards the floor”. Nothing boring can be found in the lines of the design. It’s asymmetrical unusual shape is giving it some retro touch, making it cozy for any size group.

Available in leather or fabric upholstery in a variety of colors, this sofa is the picture of contemporary comfort and modern style. Check the official website at Leolux.

The Maison Ventury Paris founded by Emmanuel Touraine and Vincent Cadena understands the concept of global design and craftsmanship. The company “reflects Frances standards of style and elegance taking inspiration from the poise and glamour of Parisian chic”. The “Otto” sofa lounge is perhaps the most sleek and clean seating design I have ever seen and features a three piece back that is to be positioned to your liking.

Turkish design studio Autoban makes wood framing fashionable and shapely and here is their latest sofa with floating wood segments developed for De La Espada of Portugal. I think the Deco Sofa looks good from all sides but I especially like the back that hopefully won’t end up against a wall. Autoban will reveal the Deco sofa and a few other new furniture designs at this year’s London Design Festival.
