Mariko Wada works slowly, carefully and in close dialogue with the material. The key focus of her work is the interaction between visual and tactile qualities. With a variety of hand-modelling techniques she explores the artistic means of expression in a ceramic context. This catalogue was specificaly made for her exhibition “Borderland” at the Museum of International Ceramic Art in Denmark. The exhibition creates a “place”, marked by small ceramic objects spread across the rooms and encapsulating the larger, more organic ceramic sculptures.

The Danish Museum of Art & Design puts Danish fashion history in the spotlight with an exhibition of Margit Brandt's fashion design from the important period of 1965-1980. In Denmark, Margit and Erik Brandt are perhaps best known for their lifestyle, but the goal of this exhibition is to convey Margit Brandt's strength as one of the 20th century's great- est and most famous fashion designers from Denmark – a Danish Mary Quant. In 1979's Fashion Genius of the World, Margit and Erik Brandt figured as the only Danish designers on a par with Parisian fashion creators like Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Karl Lagerfeld and Sonia Rykiel.

Among the great Danish designers, Finn Juhl (1912–89) ranks alongside such giants as Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen. He was particularly well known for his sculptural, seemingly organic tables, chairs and sofas, but the complex interior designs that he developed in the 1940s and ‘50s were also enormously successful. These include the Danish Embassy in Washington, DC, and the conference room of the United Nations Trusteeship Council in New York. However, it is not widely known that Finn Juhl was also a talented watercolor painter who used the medium to devise gorgeous, exacting sketches of his pieces. For the first time, this publication allows readers to take a unique look at the designer’s working methods. Here, more than 125 subtle works on paper communicate the ingenuity of their creator. Finn Juhl’s furniture classics, living concepts and interior designs can finally be experienced in all their complexity, as one traces their development from genesis to realization.

The name of Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is inseparable from his unrivalled chairs, which have helped Danish design achieve international recognition. Any fan of design has his or her favorite among Wegner's approximately 500 creations, and there is hardly an interior design magazine that has not included an illustration of his elegant China Chair (1943) or Y Chair (1950). Even John F. Kennedy sat on the Round Chair, now known simply as The Chair (1949). Trained as a furniture maker, Wegner typically made his prototypes by hand, using traditional joinery techniques such as tongue-and-groove or finger joints. In the process, he often pushed the limitations of wood, giving his designs an unequaled elegance. Their beauty was matched by their practicality: He considered comfort and ergonomics to be equally as important as appearance. Despite his concern for functionality, his personality and sense of humor also shone through his works, as evidenced by his splendid Peacock Chair (1947) or the masculine Ox Chair (1960), available with or without horns.
