Mid-century design describes furniture, lighting and objects from roughly the mid-1940s to the late 1960s. After the war, designers combined modernist clarity with warmer materials and organic, softened forms, and Denmark became one of its centres. Typical are slim legs, curved shells, teak and oak, brass and glass, and lamps designed for glare-free light.
This page gathers the PH lamps by Poul Henningsen and the AJ lamps by Arne Jacobsen from Louis Poulsen, Arne Jacobsen and Bernadotte cutlery and tableware from Georg Jensen, the Nagel candle holders from STOFF Nagel, and desks and tables from Richard Lampert, alongside pieces from HKLIVING, HAY, Objekto and Mono. Many are still produced from the original drawings.
