To quote Wikipedia
"In the postwar years, Danish designers and architects believed that design could be used to improve people's lives. Particular attention was given to creating affordable furniture and household objects that were both functional and elegant. Fruitful cooperation ensued, combining Danish craftmanship with innovative design. Initially the furniture was handmade but, recognizing that their work would sell better if prices were reduced, the designers soon turned to factory production."
Danish modern design is not elitism, what we must remember is this...
"creating affordable furniture and household objects that were both functional and elegant."
I personally think this is where it still should be and I still think everyone can still buy affordable, functional and elegant...
So be it..
