Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was a Danish architect and designer who is considered a pioneer of Scandinavian modernism. He became internationally recognised through furniture icons such as the Egg Chair, Swan Chair and Series 7 Chair. His designs combine clean lines, functionality and elegance. Jacobsen often designed holistically - from the architecture to the door handle - and had a lasting influence on the 20th century's understanding of design.
