Arne Jacobsen1902 - 1971
Arne Jacobsen was one of the most influential figures in Danish Modern design, celebrated for a holistic vision that united architecture, furniture, lighting and product design into a coherent artistic language. Trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Jacobsen developed a distinctive approach defined by clarity, proportion and an unwavering commitment to functional beauty.
His buildings and interiors were conceived as complete environments, where every detail was carefully considered. This comprehensive design philosophy gave rise to some of the most recognisable furniture of the twentieth century. Iconic pieces such as the Egg Chair, Swan Chair, Series 7, and Ant Chair exemplify Jacobsen’s ability to combine sculptural form with ergonomic precision. These works have become international symbols of Scandinavian modernism, admired for their timeless elegance and technical innovation.
Jacobsen’s legacy continues to shape contemporary design, and his furniture remains highly sought after for its refined simplicity, architectural presence and enduring relevance in both private and public interiors.
