We went to the Danish Design Centre, and for the next three years they will be showing an historical exhibition of Danish Design. The exhibition ‘Denmark by Design’ shows the development in Danish design from 1945-2010. Decade by decade you will be able to follow Danish design’s focus on the individual, the home, the workplace, the public space and resolutions to societal issues. The exhibition explores the trends over time and how these trends have influenced the designers’ solutions and modes of expression. The exhibition also explores the new generation of designers and companies that will design the decades to come – and maintain Denmarks position as a leading design nation. We highly recommend anyone living in Denmark or travelling here to visit this exhibition. // via Fritz Hansen
