Hi, I'm Susi, from Arcadian Lighting where you'll find gorgeous lighting fixtures and lamps.  I love visiting blogs like The Design Enthusiast. Vintage Love this week focuses on Danish Dining, specifically Danish Modern.  This mid-century modern style is a hot collectible right now that has spawned new editions of classic designs as well as tons of copy cats.  Danish Modern style extends beyond the borders of Denmark to include the other Scandinavian countries.

Here are eight of our favorite Danish dining spaces filled with gorgeous Danish Modern style. Enjoy!

This vintage Danish Modern furniture filled space displays the pieces that have become classics today. Warm teak wood, clean lines and modern designs create the signature look of Danish Modern.

Classic Danish Modern chairs by Hans Wegner set the design for this contemporary dining room.  Mid-century Modern designs by Danish designers feel as contemporary today as they did a half century ago.

Danish dining is all about form and function.  Tables that expand to accommodate bigger dinner parties can also shrink for intimate meals.  Chairs are gorgeously sculptural.

A simple Danish Modern table is the perfect backdrop for more sculptural bentwood dining chairs.  Mixing straight lines and curves is typical in Danish Modern dining room furniture.

Comfortable upholstered dining chairs by Eero Saarinen invite you to linger over dessert in this Danish influenced dining room.  Love the lines of the modern light fixture and lamps. Teak and rosewood are popular choices of wood for Danish Modern dining tables.

Danish designed chairs, like these by Arne Jacobsen, are so versatile. Pair them with other Danish and modern designs or even with a rustic table for an eclectic look.

One of the most versatile pieces of Danish dining room furniture is the credenza or buffet. Made typically of teak, these pieces can work in the dining room or living room in a modern room.

While not truly Danish, one of the lead designers when we think of Danish Modern design is Eero Saarinen, who was Finnish. His Tulip table is one of the most versatile modern designs and can be paired with the Tulip chairs or any stylish dining chair. Looks totally at home here with a traditional painting and wall sconce.
