Poul Kjærholm (1929–1980) graduated from the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts in 1952 and he teaches there until 1956. His artistic ideology for furniture is that the factor of the contrast between sculptural and architectural which achieved by placing a piece of furniture in an architectural space. In most of his work he uses steel as a frame and base as it is strong and has a sleek look. He also explores different texture material for the surface of the objects, such as leather and woven cane. His furniture described as elegant, simplistic and although he pays extreme amount of attention to detail but his design appear to be effortless and modern.

Joe Colombo (1930-1971) was a futuristic industrial designer, although he had a short life but his work has a huge impact in his era as well as in present days. He explored new materials and collaborates with advanced production technologies to create futuristic and flexible products to fit into a small living space. His design was nothing like existing modern furniture; his concept was to create something which is better suited for a small mobile space and to make a use of a space fully. For example, the all-in-one body trolley it is mobile and has rotating drawers it is handy for household and office use, and the tube chair can be assembled when using and stack into one when not in use to save space.

He emphasized the importance of art combined with technology, and was fascinated by modular designs and simplistic forms. 1920s, Marcel Breuer began to experiment with tubular steel, steel is incredibly strong and quite flexible, he uses these qualities to create his first tubular steel chair in 1925, when he was a furniture designer at the Bauhaus design school in Dessau, Germany. This innovation also inspired a number of designers. Another of Breuer early work is this simplistic and multipurpose nesting table which shows his aesthetic view and very refined technique.
