Den lille bog om dansk design (DANSK)

What did Poul Henningsen (PH) think when he designed his iconic lamps? Why is the Margretheskål a good design? And what is design, really? ‘The Little Book of Danish Design’ conveys the work of designers with regard to problem, process, and product in a way that is accessible to children. The book is about aesthetics and beauty, but mostly about the joy of good craftsmanship, the love for materials, and, as PH said, to dare and to play. It tells the stories behind the good designs that we all know and surround ourselves with. We encounter classics such as the iconic PH lamp, Royal Copenhagen tableware, and Kay Bojesen’s monkey. The book is written in a language that both young and old can understand and enjoy. Marie Hugsted, who is a trained textile designer and teacher, has for many years communicated Danish design both nationally and internationally. She has also written educational material on design for Designmuseum Danmark and Trapholt. Pages: 128
