Arne Jacobsen

Arne Emil Jacobsen is a Danish architect and designer, the founder of the Danish Functionalism style.

He studied at the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and began working as an architect in the 1930s. Inspired by Art Nouveau, he designed several public buildings, including the Aarhus City Hall. In collaboration with Flemming Lassen, he first created a comprehensive overall interior design, including furniture, fixtures, plumbing and other details. After World War II, Arne Jacobsen made a name for himself both in Denmark and around the world.

For six decades, Arne Jacobsen was at the forefront of Danish architecture, creating visionary works of architecture that still look contemporary today. His projects often included both the building itself and the overall interior design as well as the design of the surrounding landscape. The combination of architecture and design is one of the constant characteristics of Arne Jacobsen's work. In projects such as the SAS Royal Hotel (1960) and St. Catherine's College in Oxford (1964), he not only created the architecture, but also designed every detail of the interiors, turning them into a true work of art.

In addition to architectural structures, Arne Jacobsen created a number of highly original chairs and other furniture. From his studio came avant-garde and innovative furniture, lamps, patterns, clocks, cutlery and glassware that are still in demand today.
