Hagen Hasselbalch, Denmark, 1947

12 min.DK/Documentary

The purpose of this film is to give other countries some idea of applied art in Denmark. It touches on the porcelain industry, giving shots of some Danish contemporary ceramists and their work. An impression is also given of Danish furniture, and we are introduced to six or seven furniture architects and their work. Finally, we see some of the artists who work in precious metals, with some of their finest work. Silverware from Kay Bojesen, Georg Jensen and A. Michelsen are displayed.
