Arne Jacobsen

It is said that, as a child growing up in Copenhagen, Arne Jacobsen would paint on the Victorian wallpaper in his bedroom. But young Arne didn't cover his walls with typical children's drawings or paint the ornate wallpaper a childish blue. Instead, he decided to paint his room entirely white. His decision might seem commonplace today, but at the beginning of the 20th century, white walls were not yet fashionable. From the very beginning, Arne Jacobsen was ahead of his time.

For more than half of the 20th century, Arne Jacobsen's ideas shaped the Danish design landscape, spreading from Scandinavia to influence architects and designers worldwide. He led projects ranging from complex buildings like the National Bank of Denmark to humble undertakings such as designing a teaspoon for their cutlery set.
