 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, such as Arne Jacobsen's 1958 Egg chair and Poul Henningsen's 1926 PH-lamps.After the Second World War, conditions in Denmark were ideally suited to success in design.The emphasis was on furniture but architecture, silver, ceramics, glass and textiles also benefitted from the trend.
