101 Danish Design Icons

Playing with Peter Hiort's original 1992 logo for Netto, the Danish discount supermarket chain, this recent shopping bag features the brand's beloved black Scots terrier sporting an organic foods medallion around his neck rather than the usual basket in his mouth. At once emblematic and malleable, the Netto logo is one of 101 Danish Design Icons highlighted in this outstanding new book from Hatje Cantz. Featuring everything from nineteenth-century obstetric forceps to '50s LEGOs, 1930s Bakelite radios and wooden clogs from the 1970s, this playful 464-page survey is must-have for anyone interested in Scandinavian design.
