Danish design is a style of functionalist design and architecture developed in Denmark in the mid-twentieth century, influenced by the German Bauhaus school and combining new industrial technologies with ideas of simplicity and functionalism. It produced buildings, furniture and household objects together as a single design sensibility, and many of its products, such as the Egg chair and PH lamps, remain iconic and in production today, while the Sydney Opera House, designed by the Danish architect Jorn Utzon, stands as its best known architectural work. The movement took shape after the Second World War, blending modernist principles with careful craftsmanship to produce functional objects and buildings intended to remain useful and admired well beyond their own era.
