Antikke møbler

The architect and furniture designer Finn Juhl (1912-89) belongs to the core of Danish designers, who combined form “the golden age of Danish design”. His furniture, decorations and exhibition designs were early on internationally acknowledged. Though a number of years, especially in the 1950s, Juhl was the most central figure in creating the term ’Danish Design’. This term marked the export success as well as the unique version of modernism in the field of architecture, design and art, which became trademarks of Scandinavian welfare societies.Today the furniture of Finn Juhl are considered to be classics and they are to be found in museums all over the world. The “Høvdingestol” (the Chieftain Armchair) and the sofa “Poeten” (the Poet Sofa) are famous as a symbol of the union between the useful, the beautiful and concise simplicity. Today, his own private home in Ordrup, north of Copenhagen, is a museum that displays his significant sense of unity between function, space and object, colour, light and atmosphere

De nyantikke møbler har en central placering i dansk møbelkunsts historie af i hvert fald to grunde: De skabtes af en række af guldalderkunstens ypperste repræsentanter, og de satte mange spor i senere dansk møbelkunst.

Bent Silberg – et liv med møblerne af Selva Wildwood er fjerde bind i serien Glemte Danskere. Bogen er en livs- og erhversbiografi om Bent Silberg, en møbelfabrikantant fra Djursland, og hans deltagelse i det 20. århundreds globale eksporteventyr.I bogen gives et portræt af den danske møbelproducent Bent Silberg. Vi hører om hans barndom og ungdom i den livlige landsby Tved på Mols i mellemkrigstiden og under anden verdenskrig. Her mødte han en dygtig gammel snedker og tidligere naver, der inspirerede unge Bent til at drømme om at lave møbler. Vi hører også om hvorledes han igennem sin læretid og som færdiguddannet svend kæmpede for at virkeliggøre drømmen. Efter den første vanskelige tid med opstart af eget firma, blev Silberg efterhånden i sidste halvdel af det 20. århundrede, en af Danmarks førende skrivebordsproducenter, der eksporterede møbler til hele verden.Bogen kaster et tiltrængt lys over en relativ ukendt side af dansk møbelhistorie, og komplementer derved meget af det, der blevet sagt om dansk møbeldesign og møbeldesignere ved at fokusere på møbelproducenternes virke i samme periode. Og er en inspirerende fremstilling af en dansk iværksætters virke her i landet og i den store verden.Glemte Danskere er skrevet af forskellige forfattere, som alle har noget på hjerte om historiske personer. Disse personer er ikke nødvendigvis bredt kendt blandt befolkningen, men fortjener opmærksomheden. Det kan også være totalt ukendte personer, som til gengæld kan gøre os klogere på livet i “gamle dage”.Første bind i serien er Gå på rov i dit familietræ – Bliv familiens historiefortæller skrevet af Dorte Kofoed. Dorte er journalist og slægtsforsker, og har skrevet bogen som en introduktion til slægtsforskning med konkrete eksempler fra Dortes egen efterforskning. Bogen er dermed både en inspirations- og en opslagsbog. Den giver vejledning i DNA, arkivsøgning, slægts-rejser, analyse af gamle breve og interviews med familiemedlemmer. Samt hvilke databaser, man skal bruge, når man vil vide mere om sine forfædre.Andet bind i serien er Fortællinger fra Gudhjem – og noget om H.P. Haagensen skrevet af Erling Haagensen. Gennem en række enkeltpersoners dramatiske fortællinger om deres oplevelser – frit baseret på maleren og fiskeren H.P. Haagensens interviews og beretninger – får du pludselig et fascinerende indblik i kultur og livsbetingelser, som de var i fiskerlejet Gudhjem i perioden fra 1880’erne til 1920’erne.Tredje bind i serien er Besat af fortiden skrevet af Mads Faber. Hemmelighederne som forfatteren afdækker er både overraskende for forfatteren og for læseren i en original roadtrip fortælling om dansk udvandringshistorie, tabet af den amerikanske drøm og en splittet familie. Læringen som forfatteren gør sig er enkel og smuk og bedst ikke at “spoile”. Og størst af alt er fortælleglæden.
