1. Danish furniture design is heavily influenced by the Bauhaus movement in Germany. Danish design focused on functionality through modern minimalism. Some of the most culturally significant pieces produced are the egg chair, by architect and designer Arne Jacobsen, and the PH-Lamp. The PH-Lamp, designed by Poul Henningsen, was designed to block direct glare from eyesight using semi transparent materials to reflect the light around.

2. Denmark has one of the lowest income inequalities between the rich and poor in the world. This is partially due to the fact that it has the highest income tax for people making over $55,000 a year. At 60.2% it is the highest than any other country.

3. A movie by Danish director, Mads Brugger, entitled "The Red Chapel" won Best Documentary during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. This film focused on the exploration of North Korea by comedians and a theater troop, taking a comical approach to examining the hardships and controversy surrounding North Korea. The Danes seem to appreciate comedy as a way to soften up somewhat taboo issues. For example, one famous Danish documentary looking at mentally disabled people is simply called, "The Idiots".
