About Vintage Danish Mid-Century Modern Style Furniture

For thirty years, beginning in the 1920s, Danish furniture helped define what would become known as Mid-Century Modern. Danish and other Scandinavian furniture from this period were recognizable for their simple, elegant, often airy and sweeping lines. Many of the pieces were very high quality and are still available in usable condition. Note however that many American companies imitated the Danish style with inferior materials and construction.
