I've started reading a new book {above}about one of my favorite design styles. The Danish Modern movement started in 1930 and reigned for 40 years overlapping Mid-Century and Art Deco, two other favorites of mine.
{yes, I know, I have a lot of favorites, but I can because I'm sincere.}
Eero Saarinen's Tulip dining table {above}is a piece I would LOVE to own someday. And especially so now that I have a thing for marble. Reading about his contemporaries is a delight. Guys like Frits Henningsen, Alvar Aalto and Tapio Wirkkala are a few lesser known names from this time period. I'm only 22 pages into the book and I can tell it is going to take me awhile because I'm simultaneously googling every name I come across to see what I can find on him.
More to share as I go, I'm sure.
