Bøger om Danish Design

Finn Juhl (1912-1989) was first and foremost famous for his furniture. In the 1940s, he broke with the established furniture tradition and designed a number of creations that regenerated Danish furniture design. At the Milan Triennials in the 1950s, he was awarded no fewer than five gold medals and won international acclaim for his furniture. But Finn Juhl was not only an excellent furniture designer: he worked with all aspects of the architect's profession. He gained international recognition as an interior designer for his work on the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. As an exhibition architect, he was the man behind the major showings of Danish applied art abroad which created the concept “Danish design" and paved the way for the Danish furniture industry's export triumphs in the 1960s. This book presents a full-length portrait of Finn Juhl as an artist designer, architect and cultural figure.

In spring 2012 there were 4,350 Nimbus C motorcycles registered in Denmark. If we take account of the 1,000 in use abroad, almost half of the total production of 12,715 motorcycles 1934 - 1959 survive to this day. All of them require maintenance and repair, and from time to time renovation and restoration. This book is about these subjects. The content of this book is by and large limited to those operations which a skilled owner can do or can have done. Many repairs nowadays have to be left to a professional workshop, as mistakes can become very expensive and irreplaceable original parts may be damaged. The Danish edition by Knud Jørgensen was published in 2008, and many have asked for an English edition, hence the publication of this edition in 2012. Ben Geutskens (Dutch) and Charles Duffill (English) undertook the translation.

This book gives an overview of the technical development of the Danish Nimbus-C motorcycle during the production period 1934-1959. It is a technical handbook as well as a reference book that can be used to study the Nimbus-C motorcycle in detail, to assess condition of the Nimbus-C, and to refurbish or restore the Nimbus-C.
