Re: Is Danish Modern the furniture style of our time?

Danish modern is as much an outgrowth of the Bauhaus and the International Style as much as anything. And as to who the question as to who begat what; most involved in any design profession would agree that most design is really an iterative process. Style can be also much a response to machinery, materials, and economics, as much as anything.

However, given the souless excuse that for passes for residential & furniture design demanded by today's american public, we'll be lucky to be remembered for any contribution to design whatsoever. I'm still amazed by contemporaries who think nothing of spending a small fortune for for a technologically superior vehicle or the latest electronic gadget, and whose own homes are barren of any item with an element of design integrity or real style.
