Morphologies and Genealogies: Shaker Furniture and Danish Design
This essay interrogates the influence of Shaker furniture on mid-century Danish design. Though but one among many international and historical referents, the Shaker one was, I argue, crucial to the positive reception and powerful significance of Danish design in the postwar United States. I begin with an analysis of formal resemblance and then contextualize the legibility and the significance of this resemblance within popular culture. The article aims both to consider the ramifications of design influence beyond the construction of formal genealogies and to advance our historical understanding of mid-century Danish design’s structural intervention into modernism at large.
