Summary:
The “home of the future” has long been a topic of fascination in popular culture and an intriguing prospect for designers, and the 20th century offered up countless visions of the future of domestic life, from the aspirational to the radical. Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanized home or the notion that technology might free us from the home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are the smart homes of today and patterns of use in the sharing economy the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has the “home” proved resistant to radical change? "Home Futures: Living in Yesterday’s Tomorrow" explores different approaches to reinventing domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home.

But if pieces like Hans J. Wegner’s Y Chair (1950) and Finn Juhl’s Chieftain Chair (1949) carry an aura of timeless elegance now, they were born of a specific historical context. In a new postwar welfare society, the demand for new kinds of furniture for new kinds of homes, workplaces and public institutions was booming. Danish furniture designers, cabinetmakers and industrial furniture factories were ready to deliver, with figures like Wegner, Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Børge Mogensen, Poul Kjærholm and Verner Panton each contributing their own unique vision of what postwar modernity would look like. “Furniture Boom: Mid-Century Modern Danish Furniture 1945–1975” offers a comprehensive overview of the style that changed the world.

Summary:
Danish designers are renowned around the world for their beautiful and functional chairs. This substantial new book tells the full story of the Danish chairs that were created during the 20th century. “The Danish Chair: An International Affair” is structured around chair types and illustrates how the “golden age” of Danish furniture design was driven by the study and refinement of historical furniture types, including chairs from abroad that served as important sources of inspiration. It traces the family relations between the chairs and shows how they influenced each other in terms of detailing, construction and concept. Design was the cultural phenomenon that put Denmark on the world map in the mid-20th century. The international brand of Danish design arose in 1949 when American journalists began to write about the Danish furniture at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild exhibition.
