Stamps of Denmark: Wegner & Morgensen Centenary (2014)

Danish design is famed way beyond Denmark’s shores. Many of the pieces of furniture designed during the golden age of furniture design – from 1930 to 1970 – are now world-famous and much sought- after objects. In recent years in particular, there has been a growing interest in Danish design, greatly supported by the retro trend which has made post-war furniture and furnishing accessories highly respected and valued items.
Post Danmark will soon be issuing no fewer than three stamps depicting some of the most outstanding examples of twentieth-century Danish design. This year’s EuroPa stamp shows the PH grand piano, which Poul Henningsen designed back in 1931. read more on page 14. The other two stamps celebrate the centenary of the births of the furniture designers Hans J. Wegner and Børge Mogensen. The motifs show Wegner’s three-legged Shell Chair from 1963 and Mogensen’s Spanish Chair from 1958.
