To reveal the origins and development of the concept of "Good Design"

# Social

New alliances

“Good Design” is the show curated by the architect and designer Finn Juhl at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago (1951) in which he defines internationally the concept of hygge.
This feeling of everyday happiness relates to the role of applied arts and architecture in Danish society where the meticulous attention to the living space is a social and cultural issue and Juhl an emblematic figure among various interpreters.
For him, "the house is the frame of family life", "badly designed, it can cause dissatisfaction, unhappiness" and domesticity manifests itself not only in residential architecture but also in other spaces.
Exploring the contribution of those who focused on design that allows the user to feel home, not only within the "frame" of the house, the goal is to portray in its complexity the vision of "Good Design".
Learning from Juhl, an exhibition will present a collection of sources useful to stimulate interesting reflections on the legacy of Danish living in our society.
