Kobe Fashion Museum
This exhibit comprises some 200 pieces representative of Danish design, curated with the cooperation of the Danish Design Museum. Denmark, one of Europe’s major design powerhouses, has produced many a design icon, including the famous furniture designers Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen, famous for their comfortable yet stylish “egg” and “swan” chairs. Pieces on display include furniture, tableware, light fixtures and the famous Royal Copenhagen porcelain. The pieces represent the elements of Danish design: created with a focus on craftsmanship, they are at once simple and sophisticated, innovative yet highly functional, and above all, aesthetically pleasing.
