Danish Design

Prominent examples are the Egg chair, the PH lamps and the Sydney Opera House (Australia).

Bolivians
Bolivians ( es, Bolivianos) are people identified with the country of Bolivia. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Bolivians, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being Bolivian. Bolivia is, as its neighboring countries, a multiethnic and multilingual society, home to people of various ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of indigenous and Old World immigrants and their descendants. As a result, Bolivians do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance to Bolivia.

Modern Bolivian population, estimated at 11 million is formally broken down into Amerindians (pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
