Danish Design is a style of
functionalistic design and architecture that was developed in mid-20th century. Influenced by the German
Bauhaus school, many
Danish designers used the new industrial technologies, combined with ideas of simplicity and functionalism to design buildings, furniture and household objects, many of which have become iconic and are still in use and production. Prominent examples are the
Egg chair, the
PH lamps and the
Sydney Opera House (Australia).
