It's back for minimum 5-6 years. Maybe never was truly out..

It wasn't a boom yet-things just started appearing on Craigslist etc. Made sense-whoever had it in sixties was old now, downsized, or passed away.

I had no idea how the style is called..it just reminded me of my childhood home, and I loved the lines. I started googling, and here I am, 6 years later, with the house full of these Craigslist finds..)) They get more and more expensive though as the style becomes more popular again..

I do mix and match though, can't adhere to one style.

And I don't like plastic and all that stuff, even though some of it is iconic design.

As for West Elm-their lines are very nice, but if you go to their final sale section-oh my..then you see how this furniture is made, finish scratched and all. I'm sure some of their products are better than the others; but it pains me to buy new for a thousand bucks, when I know I'd be able to find a real deal for twice as cheap if I'm lucky.

I did buy a daybed for my son from them..waited for several months until it went on a huge sale. We'll see how it will hold.

I blame "Madmen".

But it's always been a comfortable style--reminds me of grandma. :)

Gorgeous cats are also never out of style!

Good design is evergreen = )

I love Danish Modern! West Elm is a great store.

jn3344, is that a really large cat, or a small chair? LOL

He's a big boy...his diet is working wonderfully, no?

People were smaller in the 60s. The chairs are somewhat small compared to many.

Well, at least he's getting plenty of exercise. :) He's really pretty!

Like the chair, love the cat.

We've hung on to our Scandinavian teak bookcases since the mid-1970's. We love them. Two of them are even the very rare solid teak, when the entire bookcase was made of teak, including backboard and solid teak shelves. After 1979 when Thailand banned all teak exports, everything became teak veneered to make the existing stocks last longer.

OTOH, the scarcity of teak is what drove the outdoor furniture market to alternative woods, such as eucalyptus, rubberwood, and lyptus, among others. Danish modern interior furniture began to use more American walnut, and then cherry, to compensate.

We're lucky to have some original Danish modern rosewood furniture which we bought in 1969. Esp. love our dining chairs. We stored our rosewood table when previous owners,left the glass and travertine table - a much lighter look.

I don't think it has ever gone out of style, but it has become trendy the last few years.

My parents were married in the mid-50's. They gutted a condemned house and furnished it with modern (for the most part) furniture. 60 years later, they still have their "anniversary" set - since they bought it for their first anniversary. It is in excellent condition, having been used in that bedroom for 12 years, then used in a bedroom used the next dozen as my dad's dressing room in the next house. It's been in this guest room (never used) the past 31 years. I had taken these pictures last year to send DD2, hoping she would want to use in DGS room. She has a West Elm dresser in her MBR.

The doors on both pieces open to reveal drawers.

At the 50's house, our breakfast room table was a slate top table with metal and mesh Sculputura arm chairs, all by Russell Woodard. DD2 currently has two of the four chairs in her LR, other two are stored. The slate table has been outside since they moved to their last house. I hope DD2 will use the set in her DR soon. They chairs originally had fitted leather cushions that laid flat, on seat and back. The leather cracked over the years, but Mom saved one for its pattern. They still use three Woodard Pinecrest barstools in the kitchen.

I wish I had a photo of the neat corner Danish Modern corner sofa/daybed. Low to floor, had single bottom cushion and backs were triangular-ish in shape. It was L-shaped; daybed, square mosaic tile topped table in the corner, then a chair size section The daybed had a trundle that pulled out, and you pulled the top single foam cushion over to make a double bed. Sold it to one of my BFF's friends years ago.

They also had light blue leather sofa and chair in the den. Mom made Dad donate the sofa years ago - only thing wrong was the bottom cushions were aged/cracked. Dad kept saying he could take the leather off the back to recover seat cushions. It was in his office and he'd keep throw over the cracked cushions. He still has the chair...

Well, Shutterfly seems to be changing the website and all of my albums are empty. :( New "timeline" but I'm not about to start scrolling through thousands of photos. Hope pictures get put back in albums.

I grew up in a house filled with Danish modern furniture. So of course I didn't like it once I got my own place. When my parents died I had an estate sale and got rid of every bit of it except the teak bar. I'd kill to have most of it back now.

The kitchen table I grew up with is now a collectors piece.

I hated it though as the three legged chairs tended to tip over!

I'm glad it's still popular, because I have a lot of danish modern furniture - some of it is licensed new reproductions. My two Finn Juhl credenzas were shipped to USA from Denmark. They are sitting next to a Danish Paul Wegner chair (from Dwr):

I can't wait until it's no longer in style so I can go back to scoring good deals used. I think mcm will go out shortly as it has been trendy from awhile now but not sure what will replace it. I don't think the world is prepared for Victorian/antique to make it big. Maybe sleek/glam modern? Away from organic? What's showing up in high end shelter mags these days?
