| Abstract: | Kay Fisker is celebrated for his buildings on land, but during the 1930s to 1950s period he also designed the interiors of Danish passenger ships in ways that reverberated across the Nordic maritime world for decades. This article traces how Fisker's functionalist approach to shipboard design – pioneered on the Hammershus in 1935 – established a lasting design lineage that can be followed all the way to the final DSB ferries of the 1990s. |
