Mark Mussari has sucessfully created an invaluable resource for understanding the foundation for the growth of modernist design in Denmark and its interaction with international tendencies. It functions as a superb overview of the ways in which Danish design developed in the important interwar and postwar years and it is an excellent textbook for teachers and students in universities, academies and design schools additionally a fine introduction for readers with an interest in Danish design and its impact on and relationship with international Modernism.

Mussari's wonderful book will get all kinds of readers, from students to scholars to those who adore living with good design, to reevaluate their preconceptions about Danish design. Through a sophisticated historical lens that engages with theory and design practice, Mussari's <i>Danish Modern</i> is a revelation!

Considering contemporary receptions and radical, historical changes , Mussari delivers a rich account of Danish Modern beyond the praise of its ’timelessness'. Through their Danish writings, he positions such diverse designers as Henningsen, Juhl and Mogensen in an intricate exploration of aesthetics, ideologies and promotion as ongoing tensions in Danish design culture.
