Denmark is known the world over for its iconic 20th-century chairs, designed by Kaare Klint, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, Poul Kjærholm and many others. Why did Danish designers take such an interest in this particular piece of furniture, and what is the genetic heritage of Danish design?

This book tells the story of the various members and branches of the Danish chair family and their foreign ancestors. Photographs, drawings and descriptions of 113 famous and lesser-known chairs from the collections of the Designmuseum Danmark illustrate the family tree.
