For lovers of design, Denmark is held in the highest of esteem. With an abundance of lumber resources at its disposal, Denmark seems to have an innate ability to excel in the realms of industrial design, furniture, and artfully-crafted objects, and counts these among its largest exports. The list of top Danish designers reads virtually like an all-star roster of creators: Børge Mogensen, Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjærholm, Poul Henningsen and Verner Panton, to name but a few. Their work is not only world-renowned, but has, indeed, become design classics.
Denmark also finds itself in a prominent position on the architectural world map thanks to the astonishing work of preeminent international Danish architects such as Arne Jacobsen, Jørn Utzon and Henning Larsen. The scores of tourists who visit Denmark every year see for themselves how contemporary Danish architects continue to shape an ever-evolving urban landscape with natural, modern building design of the highest quality.
