Networks, Narratives, and New Markets: The Rise and Decline of Danish Modern Furniture Design, 1930–1970
本文挑战了丹麦现代家具成功源于其内在美的传统观点,提出其兴起得益于精心构建的叙事和推动这些叙事的个人与组织网络。
Histories of the rising popularity of Danish modern furniture in both Denmark and the United States have traditionally ascribed its success to the inherent beauty of Danish design. This article argues that Danish modern furniture succeeded for two other reasons. First, through the creation of powerful narratives, or stories, that framed the way consumers made sense of this furniture; and, second, through the calculated development of a network of individuals and organizations whose goal was to promote and legitimize these narratives.
