My name is Lasse Andersen and I am founder of Danish Modern Museum.
Many years ago I asked myself, who is documenting Danish Modern, the designers and their work?
Unfortunately, I didn’t find a clear answer. In just a few years, all of the earliest employees, their close family and business partners are gone and invaluable knowledge will be lost for posterity.
There are details and stories that should have been documented 30 years ago when the designers, the furnituremakers and the cabinetmakers who carried out the furniture still lived.
Therefore, I decided 15 years ago to start my project regarding the complete works of several Danish modern designers, as it surprised me that neither Danish nor international museums worked intensively on the matter.
Danish Modern Museum is therefore the result of intense search for rare furniture, people, literature and documentation during the years. It is a concept with the vision of making international exhibitions around the world. All presented as Danish Modern Museum.
Today is ”launcing” day, so please have a look at the new Danish Modern Museum website and should you for some reason like what you see please consider to give it a like, a comment on facebook, a follow on instagram, a share on linkedin or just a heads up to a good friend interested in Danish Modern furniture and design.
It would mean the world to me.
During 2019 several things will be announced. Please follow social media for updates regarding opening of online museum shop, the first releases of designers archives, first issue of Danish Modern Magazine and hopefully some pop up exhibitions.
I wish you all a merry christmas.
Sincerly,
Lasse
