We are delighted to host a special evening on a topic of great interest to design lovers everywhere, Danish Modernism.
In connection with the publication of Grethe Meyer: Designing Danish Modernism, join us for an evening of conversation with journalist and author Christina B. Kjeldsen and film editor—and heir to Grethe Meyer’s legacy—Isabel Bernadette Brammer.
Together, they will explore the life and work of Grethe Meyer and the making of the book. Her story is both design and cultural history, and a deeply human narrative: that of the architect, the single mother, and the woman who helped revolutionize Danish interior design.
Throughout her career, Grethe Meyer focused her professional gaze on family life, the kitchen, and the dinner table. She designed the table service Blue Line, which has elevated everyday meals in countless Danish homes for decades. She set a new course for cooking with her stoneware series Firepot, and in collaboration with her friend and lover, the renowned architect Børge Mogensen, she created furniture with staying power.
With quiet determination, she sought to elevate the everyday—making it meaningful, functional, and beautiful—and in doing so, she left a lasting imprint on Danish design and on the rhythms of daily life we still recognize today.
