During this year’s design week in Milan, the entire spectrum of Danish design will be on display both physically and as a comprehensive publication.

The Danish Design Centre is proud to present this rich and inspiring publication: ‘The Milan issue, volume 1 – Danish design 2012’.

The new generation of Danish designers and crafts people are exploring new creative territory. On one hand wild and ambitious in creating pioneering design and expressing themselves through spectacular and sculptural forms. On the other hand disciplined, grounded in the Danish design tradition in its respect for classic design values.
