Danish design is the epitome of a timeless modern lifestyle. Some 350 objects from the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts collections in Leipzig exemplify and document the path taken by Danish design from Skønvike--the Danish variant of Art Nouveau--to the present. This lavishly illustrated book provides a comprehensive survey covering roughly 120 years of the applied arts in Denmark: a multifaceted history that reveals unknown and surprising aspects as well as vibrant icons of modern design.
The Danish Museum of Decorative Art has acquired two-thirds of the posters produced by Toulouse-Lautrec. This book is a catalogue of the collection, and a report on the often suspense-filled work of conserving large posters. The author also demonstrates how profoundly the Japanese woodcut print influenced Lautrec's poster art.
