Designed by
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark's most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen's buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen at the turn of the last century and started as an apprentice bricklayer before winning a place to study architecture at the Royal Academy of the Arts in 1924. While a student, Jacobsen travelled to Paris for the ground-breaking 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs, winning a silver medal for a chair design. By the late 1950s, Jacobsen took full advantage of an opportunity to put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practise in the design of the SAS Air Terminal and Royal Hotel in Copenhagen.
Today, Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
