I løbet af 1900-tallet fandt møblerne vej til danske hjem som arkitekttegnede møbler og indskrev sig i historien om ’Danish Modern’. Og for mange danskere rimer kurvemøbler på de klassiske danske sommerhuse, siden møblerne i 1950’erne blev fast interiør i sommerlandets sorte træhuse. I 1970’erne blev kurvemøbler fortrængt af nye måder at indrette sig på.
