Archetypes: Essential Works of Danish Design Book

Twenty-one portraits of objects from Danish Modernism that remain relevant to this day. From 1940-80, a group of Danish architects and designers created a series of mass-produced objects that have the quality of archetypes, basic equipment for daily life reduced to their essential and timeless forms. Created at the intersection of craft tradition and industrial production, these items of furniture, lighting, cookware and tableware remain absolutely relevant and a number of them are still in production.
