● Take a journey to explore the charm of Danish design while unraveling its history

Masterpieces from the great Danish nation gathered together in one place!
Denmark, in Northern Europe, is known as a "powerhouse of design," and has produced many great masters who have made their mark in design history, including Hans Vejna (Wegner) and Arne Jacobsen. Simple, modern designs that combine functionality and beauty continue to captivate the world.

Danish traditions are handed down through the generations behind the creation of numerous warm, human-friendly designs. While many European countries were modernizing their industries, Denmark placed importance on handwork and valued the production of products backed by artisanal skills. In an age of mass production and consumption, these values resonate with many and seem refreshing.

With the academic cooperation of the Danish Design Museum, this exhibition brings together approximately 200 pieces, including renowned Royal Copenhagen porcelain, classic furniture from the golden age of Danish design, and contemporary products. Unravel the history of Danish design and begin a journey to discover its charm.
