How entrepreneurship created Danish Modern

In the 1950's, Danish furniture design gained international renown under the name "Danish Modern". Design and reliable craft paved the way for classic furniture pieces which today are treasured collector's pieces. Per H. Hansen, Professor of economic history, will explain how entrepreneurship played a large part in the introduction of Danish Modern, and how a network of companies created a narrative that shaped a demand with many consumers.
Rob Austin, Professor of management of creativity and innovation, and David Obel Rosenkvist, CEO at Rud. Rasmussen A/S, will give their input to the discussion.

Time and place:
16 February, 15:00-17:00
Porcelænshaven 18A/B, 2000 Frederiksberg
