Arne Jacobsen

Father of Modern Danish Design

Arne Jacobsen (1902 - 1971) was one of Denmark's most influential 20th-century architects and designers.  Both his buildings and products, like his famous chairs, blend modernist ideals with a Nordic love of nature and everything natural embodying the best in modern Danish design.  He strove to achieve this grace and coherence in everything he designed from a bank building to a cultery set.
