What is Danish Modern Furniture?
In the mid-20th century, Scandinavian styles of home furnishings saw a great degree of popularity. Danish modern became the name for the style that was seen in the furniture stores and mail order catalogs that sold Scandinavian designs. Danish modern furniture is characterized by an emphasis on natural materials and organic shapes. Plywood was often used as a raw material, since it was easier to make into shapes that adapted well to the human body.
