Nu tilgængelig i en kompakt og prisvenlig ny udgave.Den første samlede fortælling om dansk lampedesign.Lampedesign fejres nu med rette som den hjørnesten i Danish Design, som den er. Gamle lamper købes til høje priser, ældre modeller relanceres som designikoner – og rigtig mange læsere savner en god introduktion til lampernes særlige designhistorie.Denne bog er den første udgivelse, der udelukkende fokuserer på dansk lampedesign. Med afsæt i Poul Henningsens ikoniske ’PH-lampe’ udfolder bogen 100 fortællinger om dansk lampedesign, der gennem tekst og billeder udbreder historierne bag de enkelte designs. Bogen introducerer læseren for de opfindelser, der skabte grundlaget for de første revolutionerende lyskilder: fra udviklingen af olie- og gaslamper frem til kulminationen sidst i 1800-tallet, de elektriske glødepærer, der kom med funktionalismens indtog i Skandinavien, for til sidst at præsentere sin læser for LED lys- og lampedesign i dag.Det enestående for dansk belysningskultur er, at belysning og hygge er tæt forbundet. Dansk lampedesign handler ikke kun om form. Dermed er formålet for den moderne danske lampe ikke blot at give lys, men fortsat skabte smukke designobjekter, at både pryde og give et hyggeligt lys i de danske hjem.

I anledning af Hendes Majestæt Dronningens regeringsjubilæum i 2022 får danskerne mulighed for at se nogle af de fantastiske smykker i Dronningens egen smykkesamling.Da H.M. Dronning Margrethe i 1972 blev udråbt til regent, var hun iført lang sort kjole, sort sørgeslør og omhyggeligt udvalgte smykker. Mest iøjnefaldende var Elefantordenen med dens blå silkeskærf og ordensstjernen. På skærfet bar Dronningen et miniatureportræt i oval ramme med brillanter, i ørerne hvide perleørenringe og forrest på blusen en lille hesteskobroche med rubiner. Alle Dronningens smykker den dag bar på en historie. Danmarks regent er altid ordensherre for Elefantordenen, et hverv, som Dronningen netop havde overtaget. Miniatureportrættet forestillede Dronningens far, Frederik 9., som hun efterfulgte. Hesteskobrochen var en gave netop fra ham. En gave, som hun fik den dag i 1953, da hun blev tronfølger. Og endelig var ørenringene Dronningens brudegave fra Prins Henrik, der skulle være hendes ”støtte, rådgiver og forbundsfælle”, som han selv har formuleret det.I bogen fortæller Dronning Margrethe om sit forhold til smykkerne i sin private smykkesamling, der rummer arvestykker, gaver og også smykker, som Dronningen selv har ladet fremstille, eller som hun har valgt. Bogens forfatter, Heidi Laura, dykker ned i smykkernes historie og de mange fortællinger, som de bærer på om kongefamilien og om Danmark.Som dronning er man også et symbol. Ikke bare ens handlinger, men selve den måde man fremtræder på, bliver der lagt mærke til. Alle kongelige repræsenterer til enhver tid Kongehuset, de er så at sige altid mere end bare sig selv, også når de ikke direkte udfører Kongehusets opgaver. Det gælder i ganske særlig grad Dronningen.Bogen er rigt illustreret med helt nye fotos af smykkerne samt billeder af Dronningen, hvor Majestæten bærer dem ved forskellige lejligheder.
