20th Century Furniture Designers and Architects

Arne Jacobsen - Danish

Arne Jacobsen was an architect and a professor of Architecture at Copenhagen's Academy of Arts. His furniture is mainly made from moulded plywood bent into organic shapes.

He was inspired by Charles Eames and in 1951 he created the classic Ant chair, which sold millions. This chair had a three legged continuous molded plywood back and seat and tubular steel legs.

Jacobsen had a functionalist approach to design, and was one of the first designers to introduce modernist ideas and philosophies into Denmark.

His most famous work was the Swan and Egg chairs which were designed for the Bellavista housing project in Copenhagen. This project intailed him designing everything to great detail, from furniture and fabrics to cutlery and lighting.
