Simplicity is a refined form of Art. Often found in Japanese works. It's the same here. Man and machine are in harmony here, and the human hand gives the personal touch to each piece. Therefore there is balance, and the craftsmen, and women, are able to draw satisfaction from their work. An excellent lesson in balance and beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Unfair comparison. These don't pretend to be what they are not. They are built with thought and love, despite what you say. Maybe a bit chunkier that the older stuff, but surely very sturdy.
As someone who has made a fair number of wooden chairs in my lifetime, I’m very curious about why people hold these opinions. Does it bring you satisfaction to think that craftsmen have gone through a more arduous process to produce the same finished result? Do you resent the idea of the manufacturer increasing their profit margins via technology? If you want to pay a price that’s orders of magnitude higher for a one-off custom piece (or set) then that’s your prerogative, but to insist on mass produced items being made by hand just seems a bit cruel and sadistic to me…
Oh my God, what an unfair comparison! You simply CAN'T compare. Sam Maloof was a unique artist, and the beauty of his pieces are just limitless. Just before departing, he shared everything he owned in exactly six parts, one for his wife, and the other for the workers he had trained. By the way, his famous Rocking Chair sold for 75,000$ each.
It's 2021 and the whole world is being raped by a kind of power take over of the most powerfull segments of the ruling classes, which now use information as their weapons for mass destruction. Think of 'vaccinations'. Their financial crisis they need to reset extremely urgently could only succeed with a well prepared healthcrisis as a smoke screen. The way how globalisation developped provoked and induced too much massive corruption on every thinkable level. When watching this docu in juli 2021 one can say that designers now stand yet again for a new important question to be asked : Do I want to work on preserving my / our national heritage with all the lokal craftmanship and techniques. And help building up a parallel society with human and honoust values? Or do I want to work for the newly empowered ruling classes, who focus on mass surveillance, mass vaccination, hyper control, and all their other dehumanising neo-communist ideologies, do I want to create new designs for a COLD Orwellian and hyper technocratic New World order ?? Every human being with a moral compas now stands on a cross road. Do I choose real life or total servile submission ? So that also counts for all the designers of this wolrd. Globalisation has failed. . . .big time !!
From the looks of the finished restaurant, MOMA didn't buy any furniture from either Wegner, or Jacobsen. That's too bad, because the restaurant looks shoddy.
That Florida home is furnished like a store. Few pieces that owners added to interior that are not MCM are hideous and random antiques that clash with the rest. The constant presence of folded Hermes blanket in the frame just adds to the vapid shallowness of it all. P.S. Swan and Egg chairs are wonderful to look at but they are the most uncomfortable pieces to sit on, not unlike Herman Miller benches (beautiful but unusable).
I was thinking the same thing - it seemed like a poor choice for inclusion in the film and served more as a “what happens when the space designer has lost all connection with the beauty and intention of the pieces.” That said, if they’re happy with it, power to them... it just feels like a very surface interpretation of the Danish design concepts that incorporates a lot of bizarre color choices and some other icky furniture/material clashing and status flashing. It’s too bad... I work in Operations management and I see this in poorly-designed offices allover the US.
Speaking of Herman Miller... the office I began managing last year had four of those Eames Wire Chairs, which have become the lovely sculptural bane of my existence. Totally unusable and a pain to move around the space.
My mother bought two egg chairs - just beautiful to look at, but not comfortable to sit in, and forever breaking down in the ball race of bearings that supported the superstructure on an impossibly small and frail connection to the base. They were nothing but useless mixed media sculptures.
Wonderful film on Scandinavain furniture! It has been my great good fortune, was my first job after gradutation from universary as an interior designer was in a small store that imported fine scandinavian furniture. I still sit on my mother's Dux armless teak chairs everyday. I have passed on my orginial furniture to my children. My son has the coffee table, my daughter the chest of drawers, these pieces were from 1964. Now at 80 years old, and the first female in my architecure class at universary, and cannot tell you how much I appreciate the quality, the design, and the appreciation for the opportunity to fall in love with Scandinvaian design.
Thank you for help breaking the barriers for for women working as educated professionals. I was born in 1959 and experienced the BS from the small males. I have always heard Denmark had rational people! Hello ftom dunny and warm St. Petersburg, Florida.
I'm sorry but I think you just missed one of the essentials of this documentairy or design. It's not about quantity (more more), it's about quality and style.
The fella from GUBI sounds like he's not interested in preserving your Danish furniture making traditions... Globalization? Such a statement is ignorance at worst, shameful at best. Godbless the Danish Craftsmen.
Dear Tom, Would it be possible to get permission to use this amazing documentary about danish design. We Hotel Alexandra is a small, unique boutique hotel in Copenhagen. We have dedicated all of our hotel to mid-century danish design. This video is the essence of the hotel and it's ambiance. We would be extremely happy, if we could be allowed to use this video and bits of it for both our website, SOME and app. Thank you very much. Best Regards Nicolai Hotel Alexandra
Lovely documentary. My only negative comment surrounds the current educational environment and the handling of the Danish traditions. Louise Campbell said 'it is foreigners who understand Danish design'. She only says this because of how deficient her education was and it is the educators who have failed her, the Danish people and the world of such perfection.
Any job opportunities available please
too too precious
Rrt! Good Rrt!
Learned much from it. Thank you.

What a complete contrast to the way that Maloof created furniture.
Oh my God, what an unfair comparison! You simply CAN'T compare. Sam Maloof was a unique artist, and the beauty of his pieces are just limitless. Just before departing, he shared everything he owned in exactly six parts, one for his wife, and the other for the workers he had trained. By the way, his famous Rocking Chair sold for 75,000$ each.
Many schools in Israel as well as shopping centers and old apartments are designed in the Jacobsen style ♥

Designers need workshop skills. Designers need to be making in materials, not always on computers!
Japandi is a Thing, now.

it's a life choice..I can't afford
Hugo Boss on Arne chair!!?? HIW CRAS!!!
Great..if u can afford it!! I fell in love with Danish craftsmanship at design College 1980s
The Royal Hotel was perfect as is..it upsets me that nearly all of it was pushed aside.
This design is timeless...it should never be scrapped. I consider it a crime personally. I have loved this since I was eight.
I have some Danish furniture, good looking it certainly is, but not necessarily comfortable...form does not necessarily follow comfort
What an awesome documentary !
🇩🇰 👏👏👏🇮🇹
The few fierce spear microscopically inform because grass oppositely practise regarding a discreet gazelle. rural, creepy fedelini
Very strange.
Hmm... Are you using an old version of Babel Fish?
How dare you call me a coffee table... I identify as an occasional table...
But only occasionally.

The materialistic catsup tentatively look because interviewer disappointingly use about a cheerful bird. obsolete, slippery news

Is Karen Kitzis the one that funded the video? What is the purpose of her appearance in the documentary?
Why is it that while I see the images of Room 606 and its sleek design furniture, I also think of the upper deck of the 747...????
what is the name of the stools at 42:42?
Gallery Stool

What a wonderful testimonial to the spirit and timelessness of Danish design! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for help breaking the barriers for for women working as educated professionals. I was born in 1959 and experienced the BS from the small males. I have always heard Denmark had rational people! Hello ftom dunny and warm St. Petersburg, Florida.
I love love love the clean lines and retro feel of danish furniture♥️.
I do as well ❤️
Danish design has been hijacked by many clever companies that produce in China , Philippines and don’t give a toss about their employees. Move on.
The sweet pansy descriptively encourage because conga biophysically choke anenst a gifted rowboat. lonely, flowery point
Well said.
Maybe if you put "mid century modern" in the title you would get more views. This documentary deserves them.
I'm sorry but I think you just missed one of the essentials of this documentairy or design. It's not about quantity (more more), it's about quality and style.
@@paullenarts4925 no, it about making sure people looking for information can find it.
@@markpfeifer1402 Precisely.
What is the make and manufacturer of those gloves at 8:!9??
The brand is OX-ON Working gloves.
I have always loved Danish design. Hope I can afford it one day.
I love the furniture but I think the moma restaurant looks awful
What's the guys name at 9:37? Sounded like...."Paul Care Home?" I want to know more about him.
Poul Kjærholm
No wonder why China has been able to reproduce most this icons... 95% CNC production.
"we surround ourselves with beauty" lets watch this video in beautiful 360p
Hilarious
It was posted in 2014.
The entire budget was spent on the swan chair..true story
Very interesting despite the awful music.
CNC did most of the work, human is only here for re-touch (smoothing/sanding).
The craftsman has been reduced to a skilled assembler
Did they find out who stole it? Lol
The fella from GUBI sounds like he's not interested in preserving your Danish furniture making traditions... Globalization? Such a statement is ignorance at worst, shameful at best. Godbless the Danish Craftsmen.
Gubi is cheap shit
What make of gas fire was that at the end ? I want one like that ..
Does the wood come from Denmark trees? No mention of Finn Juhl or Nanna Ditzel.??
@Jacob Durcan Teak and rosewood grow there?

ok
Danish furniture is practical and very sexy. Plus the accent reminds me their greatest export, King Diamond.
