Ten Key Themes in Danish Design
If credible concepts can be posited to describe something specifically Danish in the cultivation of products, they will be of a distinctly historical processual nature. In an understanding that both captures the retrospective view and points to qualities of value to a contemporary and future design practice in Denmark, at least ten key themes can be identified that will be relevant to any discussion of identities in Danish design and which are all at play in the iconic objects and their generation of meaning. Naturally, they are also related to Danish craft-based and industrial production conditions and have influenced consumption
patterns and taste preferences.
- Moderation in the dialogue with other countries
- Building bridges – ‘preserving the continuity of development’
- Liveability – creating a (Nordic) atmosphere
- Tool aesthetics, simplicity and the detail
- Crafts as a source of innovation for industrial design
- The value of symbolism and associations
- The social and empathetic profile – the user focus
- The anti-authoritarian stance – pulling together
- The ecological imperative – sustainability
- The new temperament
