Although hard-core functionalists like Henningsen called for form to follow function, real-life factors required them to compromise, and this came to define Danish lamp design: hygge is a crucial quality that had to be included in the design. Thus, the purpose of the modern Danish lamp was—and is—not only to provide light but also to act as a decorative element and to spread a cosy ambience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46832748560620,"sku":"9788792596635","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16535133485318.jpg?v=1758406324"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/malene-lytken.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
