Both articles talk about the importance of how Danish furniture has been shaped and changed greatly. The furniture gives Denmark its own brand of quality furniture. In Hansen’s article, they talk about how the story of Danish furniture has been told many times, but it has also changed so much. Hansen also talks about how the focus of Danish furniture is on the design and talent of the designers to explain the popularity of Danish Design. Hansen specifically quotes, “this has left the impression that Danish modern furniture was able to ‘sell itself,’ in a sense, because it possessed the essential characteristics of beauty, simplicity, and functionality” (Hansen 450). This is able to show us that through Danish culture and furniture, it was able to shape its own branding based on all of the intense changes and rapid growth/demand. This can be something that can be used for the country of my choice because, we can take a product that China is known for and push even more onto it making it even more well known. Or even pick something that is not too popular, but make it popular in China which would then spread internationally. The Danish economy was able to rise based on the furniture demand because it is something they are branded and well known for. The furniture is so significant to the country of Denmark, when you type in “Danish f,” Danish Furniture pops up as a recommendation. So by picking a strong trait of China (or any other country), it can be used to give itself a new name/brand.
Question: How would Denmark be if its furniture was not in high demand? What state would it be in in terms of its economy and society?
