An extraordinary man of vision, Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971), is one of the greatest names in 20th century Danish design. His bold and distinctive ideas and offbeat aesthetics pushed design into new territory. Today, Arne Jacobsen’s work is part of many museums’ permanent collections, and is prized by collectors and loved by people of many generations.
Arne Jacobsen was famous for his ability to work on many different scales at the same time. One of his greatest achievements is the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (1960), where he was not only the architect of the building but the designer responsible for everything within – from furnishings right down to the cutlery in the restaurant.
