Designmuseum Danmark

This guide to Designmuseum Danmark starts with a strange coincidence from the first televised US presidential debate, in 1960: Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy each sat in a chair built in a Copenhagen workshop. It traces the chair back to cabinetmaker Hans Wegner, who built it in about 48 hours for a guild exhibition eleven years earlier, and to an American magazine's early praise for Danish furniture. Look for it among the more than a hundred chairs lining the museum's chair tunnel.
