For six decades, Arne Jacobsen was at the forefront of Danish architecture and design. Working as both architect, furniture designer, industrial designer and landscape architect, he made contributions to the world of design that remain as significant today as they were in his lifetime.
Arne Jacobsen is one of the most well-known and respected Danish architects in the world (1902-1971). He made an impact on the world of architecture and design over the course of six decades, earning his place as one of the most important individuals in Danish design history.
Arne Jacobsen frequently pioneered new ideas in his work. He frequently had a remarkable ability to foresee future trends and changes due to his skill for discovering and implementing innovative solutions. His name has come to stand for straightforward, recognizable shapes and the union of form and purpose over time.
Combining architecture with design is a recurring theme in Arne Jacobsen’s creations. He not only planned the architecture for buildings like the SAS Royal Hotel (1960) and St. Catherine’s College in Oxford (1964), but also every every aspect of the interiors, turning each one into a gesamtkunstwerk, or complete piece of art. Furniture, lamps, patterns, clocks, cutlery, and glassware all came from Arne Jacobsen’s studio and were both autonomous designs and a part of the holistic expressions that he aimed for.
