The Weiman Furniture Company was known for producing high-end, custom-made furniture in the 20th century. The brand is no longer in production, but its legacy is recognized for quality craftsmanship and elegant, evolving designs. 

Gunnar Aagaard Andersen (1919 - 1982) was pioneer of Danish modernism known for his use of innovative materials and forms.  He designed "Letters" in 1955 as a linear series of truncated letters and numbers, sliced and enlarged to the point of abstraction. The pattern's staccato rhythm is emphasized through the sharp contrast of black type set against vividly colored grounds.  It typifies mid-century modern design.
