Markland
Markland is a polity of Albion, situated east of Wales, north of London and Kent, and south of Northumber and Sodrick.
History
Markland originates with Saxon settlements in sub-Roman Britannia, which in the west formed (what would go on to be named) Mearce land "borderland". Compare the related demonym Mierce "people of the border", whence the Latin name Mercia and native Merchman "man from Markland".
The petty kingdom of Anglia was annexed by Markland with the Treaty of Oxford in the late eighth century, at the dawn of the Viking Age. This established the persevering border between the mouths of the Severn and the Tames, and incited renewed influx of people into the petty kingdoms on Borland.
Markland weathered the Viking Age much more successfully than neighbouring Northumber, though much of its eastern coast was settled by Danes; the city of Lincon served as the de facto border of Danish rule for several decades. In part this was the inevitable result of tensions along the Welsh border; even during peacetime Theodric the Awefast maintained substantial levy forces.
The tenth-century Elved Marriage (which took place near the modern city of Leeds) ended hostilities between Markland and Dane forces in the east for almost a century. It is said to have been solemnised over a sandstone block later inlaid into the Redstone Chair, a low-backed wooden throne on which many subsequent monarchs were crowned.
Around the turn of the second millennium, Markland was conquering territory from the northern reaches of Wales (incidentally leading to Pope Agatho's canonisation of the Welsh St David). The perennial conflicts between Markland and Wales would come to be collectively referred to as the Mallor Wars.
The First Drengot Empire of the eleventh and twelfth centuries counted Markland as a major vassal, conquered from the south following the subjugation of Kent by Normandy and Greater Devon in 1029.
The Mallor Wars were reignited after a quiescent period by the martial-minded King Andrew II, with the Sack of Rexam in 1301 during which the original St Brigid's Abbey burned to the ground.
Markland was embroiled in the Wars of Fealty in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Tensions over the location and possession of the Redstone Chair boiled over into a conflict that would last forty-one years. Markland conceded several battles to the young Kingdom of Britain in the early years of the wars, culminating in the 1483 Battle of Rexam which expanded the borders of Wales in the north and killed the last Duke of Chestre.
In the final years of the Wars of Fealty, a code known as Thieves' Script was employed by the forces of King Andrew III, apparently adapted from similar systems used by gangs of housebreakers in Nottingham. It is remembered today as a very early precursor of codes like steeplescript or modern one-zeffre encoding.
The poor economic conditions and population displacement in Markland following the Wars of Featly led it to suffer almost twice as many deaths per capita from the Second Great Dying compared to polities like Willemy.
Long contested between Markland and Kent, the city of London found itself independent for one final, lasting time following the Democratic Wars of the mid-eighteenth century.
The spellings of various towns and cities in Markland were rationalised during the Long Peace period of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (for example, Conster for former Colncester /ˈkɔn.stə/).
The 2010 Œcumen Count, a regular census, recorded that Utter Safford was the secondmost populous city in Markland proper with 4.4 million inhabitants, after the capital of Tommarth.
People
Monarchs
Theodric the Awefast (fl. 800), repeller of several attempted vikings into Markish territory

I have been productive in the last couple weeks. More productive than I’ve been in a long time, and yet I still feel drained and unaccomplished. I guess I should feel proud that I’m getting stuff done and remind myself that there are lots of good things happening; but it just kind of … doesn’t reach the part where my brain decides to release some goddamn endorphins. I’m hoping that being in the new place will feel liberating and maybe ease some of the relentless persistent sadness I’m feeling. Y’all, I’ve got the morbs. Depression/grief/trauma sucks.
On a brighter note, I found furniture. First, there was a mid-century vanity complete with mirror in mint condition that I snatched up from my local thrift store. The item is unmarked and likely mass-produced, but in decent shape nevertheless and the (cosmetic) repairs I’m currently working on are minor.
To make things easier, I begrudgingly re-activated my Facebook account and realized that a) Marketplace is still the easiest way to get rid of all the crap you don’t need and b) there’s lots of good stuff for cheap. My first find was a gigantic Safavieh area rug from their Kenya collection. It’s bright and delightfully textured and a lot and I can’t wait to lay down on it after a long day.
My second find was a round dining table made of teak, sold by a wonderful retiree couple from a neighboring town. They were sweet and funny and helpful (not to mention their absolutely beautiful apartment), and the table is in immaculate shape, especially considering it’s older than me.
Third I found a Danish teak side table made by Trioh (and there’s even a matching coffee table available from a different seller, which honestly is just too good to pass up). The side table itself is in great condition.
Lastly, I finally found a pair of dining chairs, and at a steal to boot. They’re Maui by Vico Magistretti for Kartell, and while they were not in good shape anymore, fixing them up has been fun and challenging altogether. Plastic is less forgiving than wood, but triple 0 steel wool has worked well for me so far. (The same seller I got the chairs from also has a beautiful Mission-style leather couch made of red oak, and while it’s totally out of my price range I’m considering the splurge).
I’ve noticed again how much I enjoy working with my hands. The monotony and precision of the task calms and distracts me, and it serves as a good reminder that the effort, elbow grease and dedication I’m putting into things will eventually pay off.

Jens Risom: Introducing the US to Scandinavian Design
“Good design means that anything good will go well with other equally good things.” – Jens Risom
Jens Risom was not only an iconic mid-century modern furniture designer, but he was also responsible for introducing Scandinavian design to the United States. “Risom was often referred to as the first true Knoll designer” (1). With the current popularity of mid-century furniture design, Risom’s warm, elegant, timeless designs inspire a new generation of furniture designers.
Jens Risom was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on May 8, 1916, the son of prominent Danish architect Sven Risom. Young Jens studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design along with classmates Hans Wegner and Børge Mogensen (2) from 1935 until 1938. (3)

Jens Risom and Hans Knoll
In 1939 Risom traveled to the United States to study design. Unfortunately, Risom found it difficult to find steady work in New York City. (2) In a 2012 interview with Modern Magazine Risom said, “What I found was that [the United States] was advanced in just about all areas—except for taste” (3). Risom was challenged to find anyone in the United States in the pre-war interested in producing the type of furniture he was designing. Risom’s freelance work secured him a position as Director of Interior Design at Dan Cooper, Inc., where he worked until 1940.

After 1940 Risom returned to freelance work in furniture and textile design. “It was during this time that he met Hans Knoll. The pair collaborated on an exhibition for the New York World’s Fair.” (4) Risom finally found someone interested in producing and promoting his furniture designs. Then Knoll took Risom on as his partner and first designer for his new furniture company.
The first Knoll Catalog was published in 1942, “which included 15 pieces designed by Risom — the very first furniture to be commissioned specifically by Knoll” (4). One of the most timeless chairs in the collection was the Model 654W was designed by necessity. “Materials were hard to come by during the war, so Mr. Risom designed a chair with simple wooden legs and for upholstery used nothing other than surplus parachute straps” (1). In addition to Knoll, Risom sold designs to Frederik Lunning Inc., and this collection was introduced in October 1942. (2)

War, Love, and Breakup with Knoll
In 1943 Risom put his career on hold as he was drafted into the United States Army where he served as an interpreter under General George S. Patton. (1, 2) Risom returned to New York after the war. “…Mr. Knoll was involved romantically and professionally with a furniture designer named Florence Schust, who held a view of modern design that was in direct opposition to Mr. Risom’s”(1). Florence Schust eventually married Hans Knoll and became his business partner (4) leading Risom to split professionally with Knoll in 1946. (1)

Jens Risom Design Opens
Soon after his departure from Knoll, Risom established his own firm, Jens Risom Design which opened on May 1, 1946 (1); Risom ran the business until it was sold in the 1970s. (4) During the 1950s, Risom’s reputation grew as he promoted Danish design to a wider commercial and residential market. He hired fashion photographer Richard Avedon to photograph Risom’s furniture for sophisticated advertisements. The ads consisted of a photo of an item of furniture “against a white background with the simple tagline ‘The Answer is Risom’” (5).

Later in the decade, Risom began moving the firm away from residential work and into the “office furniture, hospital furniture, and library furniture” (2) markets. During the 1960s, Risom’s firm had showrooms in all major markets in the United States. (5) In 1961 Risom's work "was included in the legendary...Playboy Magazine article 'Designs for Living,' " (6) with mid-century design superstars "Charles Eames, Harry Bertoia, Eero Saarinen, Edward Wormley, and George Nelson" (6). President Lyndon Johnson selected a Risom executive chair for his use in the Oval Office. (2)
Renewed Interest in Risom’s Designs
After the sale of his design firm, Risom continued to design and work as a consultant throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The 1990s saw a resurgence in interest in Risom’s iconic designs, the popularity of his furniture continues today. In 1994 Knoll introduced a selection of Risom’s early 1940s designs. In 2005 Risom partnered with New York art and furniture dealer Ralph Pucci to market his work. Pucci’s firm still sells Risom’s work today. (7)

Risom’s Legacy
“The Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum all have Risom selections in their permanent collections” (1). In 1996 Risom was knighted by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. (5) Risom was also a trustee of the Rhode Island School of Design. (2, 5) Risom outlived his contemporaries; he died at his home in New Canaan, Connecticut on December 9, 2016, at the age of 100. (1)

Mid-century modern design "embraced a more human aesthetic"
More than 70 years after its birth, the popularity of mid-century modern design and architecture shows no signs of abating. This overview by Penny Sparke kicks off our series about the movement. Mid-century modern design is hard to pin down. As soon as you think you have grasped it, it re-invents itself. Unlike the late 19th- and early 20th-century architecture and design movements – arts and crafts, art nouveau, art deco, and Bauhaus – which are all linked to specific time periods, places, and visual styles, the definition of what constitutes mid-century modern is in constant flux. Also, while all the earlier movements have been revived from the 1970s onwards, they have tended to come and go. Mid-century modern's rebirth, however, has been in place since the 1990s and, three decades later, is still going strong.
Mid-century modern design, like the Eames House, is still popular. Photo by Leslie Schwartz and Joshua White, courtesy of Eames OfficeAntique shops and auction houses are full of boomerang-shaped coffee tables with spindly metal legs and lightly decorated ceramic and glass items – the prices of which continue to soar – while popular home magazines across the globe show us easy-to-live-in interiors filled with elegant Danish chairs, sculptural room dividers, patterned textiles, modern paintings, and sprawling houseplants. Mid-century modern design usually associated with the home If we can say anything definite about mid-century modern design, it's that it is usually associated with the home rather than the workplace, and that it manifests itself as architecture, furniture, textiles, and as decorative ceramic, glass, and metal items. While they can all be looked at in isolation, they are better understood as ensembles. Moving beyond the austere modernism of the 1920s and 1930s, mid-century modern design embraced a more human aesthetic while remaining aggressively forward-looking. The adulation of the machine was replaced by an affection for the organic forms of the natural world.
'High' mid-century modern design in Scandinavia included Josef Frank's print designs, seen here on a curtain. Photo courtesy of Svenskt TennAlways optimistic, the style emerged to offset the austerity of the post-war years and symbolised the importance of economic and cultural reconstruction. By the late 1950s, many countries in the developed world had developed their own versions of it. While its roots were in Europe and the USA, as a popular domestic style it quickly spread further afield. Many questions remain, however. When did it start and finish? Where did it originate? What does it look like? Who are its designer heroes? Scandinavian mid-century modernism "reached its full potential" post-war In many ways, the Scandinavian countries can be seen as the home of what we might call "high" mid-century modern design, as opposed to its later, more popular manifestations. There were early signs – in the form of Iittala's lightly engraved glassware of the 1920s, designed by Simon Gate and Edward Hald, and the work of the Swedish-based architect-designer, Josef Frank, described as bringing in a new "sanity in design" – that Scandinavia wanted to humanise the stark, tubular steel designs emerging from Germany.
Hans J Wegner's Wishbone chairs are among many Scandinavian design icons. Photo by Tom RossScandinavian mid-century modern design reached its full potential in the post-war years. In the form of sleek items of Danish furniture designed by the likes of Hans J Wegner and architect-designer, Arne Jacobsen; elegant ceramics and glass pieces, designed in Sweden by Gustavsberg's Wilhelm Kåge and Orrefors' Vicke Lindstrand; airy textiles created by Sweden's Astrid Sampe; and the dramatic forms of Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala's glass sculptures, the concept of Scandinavian Modern was celebrated worldwide. Many of the designs have become iconic: Wegner's Wishbone bentwood-and-rope chair of 1949, for instance, still graces many a fashionable dining area, while, with its three slim steel legs, Jacobsen's moulded plywood Ant chair looks as modern today as it did back in 1952 when it was first produced. Italian designers rejected the past While Scandinavian mid-century modern design was about everyday family life and democracy, Italy's version was all about high style. The furniture, lighting, and decorative items created by Gio Ponti, Franco Albini, Marco Zanuso, Gino Sarfatti, Piero Fornasetti and others inhabited chic interior spaces.
Gio Ponti's Superleggera chair (top back) represented optimism. Photo by Luc BoeglyNone of them represented the optimism that was in the air at that time more than Ponti's little Superleggera chair, produced by Cassina in 1957. Its light, tapering legs and woven cane seat rejected the weight of the past and looked enthusiastically to the future. The mid-century modern lifestyle dominated in the US Across the Atlantic, American designers Charles and Ray Eames, Finland-born Eero Saarinen, George Nelson, and Harry Bertoia also embraced the new, unencumbered lifestyle. On the West Coast, the Eameses created a home for themselves – Case Study House 8 – which epitomised a new life that was lived as much outside as inside, and which was as comfortable as it was modern.
Harry Bertoia's Diamond chair "was as much about sculpture as it was about sitting". Photo courtesy of KnollTheir leather and moulded rosewood lounge chair and ottoman, originally designed for filmmaker Billy Wilder, epitomised that attractive combination. However, Bertoia's gridded metal chair, with its leather cushion, of 1950-1, was as much about sculpture as it was about sitting. Britain's Contemporary Style attracted manufacturers and retailers Great Britain quickly followed. Lucienne and Robin Day, Ernest Race, and John and Sylvia Reid were among the protagonists of what the British called the Contemporary Style. Manufacturers, such as Ercol, and retailers, such as Heals, joined their ranks, while the producers of decorative glass and ceramics items employed designers to create new, exciting wares for them. With its lightly decorated surfaces depicting abstract organic forms inspired by the natural world, Jessie Tait's Primavera dinner service for Midwinter, for example, evoked a new world miles away from the traditional dinnerware that filled so many people's cupboards. The revival of mid-century modern design While the mid-century modern design movement owes its origins and meanings to the pioneering designers working in Scandinavia, Italy, the USA and the UK in the 1940s and 1950s, from the perspective of the early 21st century the term embraces a much wider, ever-evolving, range of designs.
Robin Day's Forum seating design represents Britain's Contemporary Style. Photo courtesy of Case FurnitureIn today's vintage furniture stores, pieces by Jacobsen and Eames sit alongside Italian plastic chairs by Vico Magistretti and Joe Colombo from the 1960s and chunky German ceramics from the 1970s. While different in style, for today's consumers, the designs from the 1960s and 1970s embrace the same spirit of modernity and optimism as the earlier pieces. That spirit died, arguably, when, from the 1970s onwards, the cycle of retro styles – from arts and crafts to art nouveau to art deco to Bauhaus – came into being and optimism was replaced by nostalgia for past models of modernity. By the 1990s, it was mid-century modern's turn to be revived. Seemingly, however, it managed to buck the trend of ever-changing fashionable retro styles as, in the mid-2020s, the power of that historical design movement remains as strong as ever. The optimism of its early protagonists still speaks to many people who seek to remain upbeat in the face of countless contemporary challenges – from the climate crisis to economic inequality, to migration, to the threat of global war. There are no signs as yet that that power is beginning to fade. Top illustration is by Jack Bedford.

How to Capture Mid-Century Modern Charm?
Mid-century modern design emerged in the mid-20th century, roughly between the 1940s and 1960s, and continues to influence contemporary design today. Characterized by its clean lines, organic shapes, and functionality, this style blends form and function in a way that feels timeless and fresh. Here are some key elements to consider when capturing the charm of Mid-Century Modern design in your home.
1. Iconic Furniture Pieces: One of the hallmarks of Mid-century modern design is its furniture. Look for iconic pieces such as Eames chairs, Noguchi tables, or the classic Danish teak sideboard. These pieces often feature tapered legs, smooth curves, and a focus on simplicity. Invest in quality items that showcase craftsmanship, as they serve as statement pieces in any room.
2. Open Spaces: Mid-century modern design favors open floor plans and a sense of flow between spaces. To capture this charm, consider removing unnecessary barriers in your home. This doesn’t mean sacrificing privacy, but rather creating a seamless connection between living areas. Use furniture to define different zones while maintaining an open and airy feel.
3. Natural Materials: The use of natural materials is another defining characteristic of Mid-century modern decor. Wood, leather, and stone are commonly used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Opt for pieces that showcase the beauty of these materials—think walnut furniture, leather upholstery, or a stone fireplace. Natural finishes enhance the organic feel of the space.
4. Bold Colors and Patterns: Mid-century modern design is known for its bold colors and geometric patterns. Incorporate a lively color palette featuring vibrant yellows, blues, oranges, and greens. Use these colors in accents like throw pillows, rugs, or wall art. Geometric patterns can also be added through wallpaper, curtains, or textiles to create visual interest.
5. Statement Lighting: Lighting is a crucial element in Mid-century modern design. Look for sculptural fixtures that serve as both functional and artistic elements. Pendant lights with sleek lines or floor lamps with interesting shapes can add personality to your space. Pay attention to the placement of lighting; it should enhance the overall ambiance while highlighting key design features.
6. Integration with Nature: Mid-century modern design often emphasizes a connection to nature. Large windows and sliding glass doors are typical features that invite natural light and blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces. If possible, incorporate plants into your decor. Simple planters with greenery can enhance the organic feel and bring life to your interior.
7. Art and Accessories: Incorporating art and accessories is essential in completing a Mid-century modern look. Choose artwork that reflects the era, such as abstract prints or minimalist sculptures. Keep accessories to a minimum to avoid clutter, focusing instead on a few curated pieces that complement your design.

Using Indoor Egg Chair to Reduce Anxiety
A Design Classic:
The indoor egg chair, initially conceived by Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen in the 1950s, has become a design classic renowned for its unique and instantly recognizable form. Its cocoon-like shape, with a high back and curved sides. Not only provides a sense of privacy but also adds a sculptural element to any room.
Modern Elegance:
Fast forward to the present, and the indoor egg chair has seamlessly transitioned from mid-century modern aesthetics to contemporary chic. Available in a variety of materials, colors, and finishes, these chairs offer versatility that complements a wide range of interior styles. From sleek leather to cozy fabric, there’s an egg chair to suit every taste.
Cozy Comfort:
At the heart of the indoor egg chair’s appeal is its unparalleled comfort. The ergonomic design cradles the body, providing a cozy and inviting space for relaxation. Whether placed in a reading nook, bedroom corner, or living room, sinking into the plush cushions of an egg chair instantly transports you to a world of tranquility.
Statement Piece:
Beyond its comfort, the indoor egg chair serves as a statement piece, effortlessly elevating the aesthetic of any room. Its distinctive design makes it a focal point, sparking conversation and drawing attention. It’s not just a piece of furniture; it’s a work of art that transforms the atmosphere of the space it inhabits.
Versatile Placement of the indoor egg chair:
One of the key advantages of the indoor egg chair is its versatility in placement. Compact and stylish, it can fit into various corners of your home, turning underutilized spaces into inviting retreats. Whether you’re creating a cozy reading book, a conversation corner, or a personal sanctuary, the egg chair adapts to your needs.
Bringing the Outdoors In:
The indoor egg chair also offers a unique connection to nature. With its enclosed design, it provides a sense of shelter reminiscent of a nest. This connection to the outdoors adds a touch of natural serenity to indoor spaces, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The indoor egg chair is more than just a piece of furniture; it’s a design icon that combines timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. Whether you’re a fan of mid-century modern aesthetics or seeking a statement piece to elevate your interior, the indoor egg chair is a versatile and stylish choice. Embrace the allure of this classic piece and transform your living space into a haven of comfort and sophistication.
In the realm of interior design, certain elements effortlessly capture the imagination, seamlessly blending aesthetics with functionality. The indoor hanging egg chair is a prime example, weaving an air of elegance and relaxation into contemporary living spaces. Let’s explore the enchanting world of indoor hanging egg chairs, from their design origins to the transformative impact they can have on your home.
A Suspended Retreat:
The indoor hanging egg chair traces its roots to innovative mid-century designs, where suspended seating became a symbol of avant-garde elegance. Today, these chairs continue to captivate with their suspended charm, offering a unique and visually striking addition to modern interiors.
Timeless Design, Modern Appeal:
Designed to evoke the shape of an egg, these hanging chairs boast a cocoon-like silhouette that provides both comfort and style. Crafted in a variety of materials such as wicker, rattan, or even sleek acrylic, indoor hanging egg chairs effortlessly marry timeless design with a contemporary aesthetic, becoming focal points in any room.
Floating Comfort:
One of the most enticing features of indoor hanging egg chairs is the sensation of floating. Suspended from a sturdy ceiling mount, these chairs create a gentle, swinging motion that adds an extra layer of relaxation. Paired with plush cushions and a cozy throw, sinking into a hanging egg chair becomes a serene escape from the demands of everyday life.
Versatility in Placement:
Unlike traditional chairs, indoor hanging egg chairs boast versatility in placement. Whether hung in a corner reading nook, a bedroom retreat, or even a sunlit living room, these suspended cocoons transform underutilized spaces into inviting sanctuaries. Their ability to swivel and rotate enhances their adaptability to various settings.
Stylish and Space-Saving:
Indoor hanging egg chairs offer a stylish solution for those who value both form and function. Their suspended nature adds a touch of whimsy and drama to any room, while their space-saving design allows you to make the most of limited square footage. It’s a perfect marriage of style and practicality.
Creating a Relaxation Hub:
Imagine creating a dedicated relaxation hub within your home – a space where you can unwind, read, or simply daydream. The indoor hanging egg chair becomes the centerpiece of this sanctuary, enveloping you in comfort and offering a unique vantage point from which to appreciate your surroundings.

At the first televised US presidential debate in 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon sat in Round Chairs. Danish Modern was presented as a symbol of the luxury, freedom, and stylishness afforded by the capitalist development with which America had become politically synonymous; it was now as American as democracy itself. This association, however questionable, became an important element of the furniture’s appeal—and of the marketing campaigns to sell it. Danish Modern was, in ad copy and in the words of the era’s tastemakers, furniture for all Americans. “It is a significant part of the Wegner story,” wrote House Beautiful editor Marion Gough (as quoted by Taft), “that people were ��discovering’ this beauty even before the experts stamped it with their approval.” Wegner’s Chair belonged, at least in theory, to anyone and everyone.
Danish cabinetmakers, American manufacturers, and tastemakers like Doris Scherbak—an American whose husband was stationed in Paris to work on the Marshall Plan—popularized not just the specific pieces of Danish Modern furniture but the very idea of it. Curved lines, splayed legs, rich wood: These became emblematic of the idealized, placid mid-century American lifestyle made possible by the outrageous growth of capitalism. Since the high cost of producing those emblems kept them out of reach of a number of Americans, capitalist ingenuity saw an opportunity to satisfy its profit motive: Copies and knock-offs proliferated in the United States, where copyright rules were lax to the point of nonexistence. Even Scherbak, who had outfitted her apartment in Paris entirely with furniture and fabrics from the Danish store Den Permanente, bought a pair of knock-off chairs in Mexico and proudly wrote to Fischer that she was “happy to have” them, because they were “really good copies and were so very cheap.”
