Arne Jacobsen - Furniture Lighting Textile Design and Architectural Renovations 1925-1971

Tailored for design enthusiasts, this visually striking volume captures how Arne Jacobsen fused architecture and design, helping to redefine modern living. The book traces Jacobsen’s career as a designer from his early experiments with functionalism to his most influential works.

Arne Jacobsen is best known for his sculptural Egg, Swan, and Series 7 chairs. However, he was also a modernist, and his influence helped define the clean, functional aesthetic of Scandinavian design—from architecture and interiors to lighting, textiles, and applied arts—leaving a legacy that continues to inspire designers today.

The book also paints a rich and nuanced portrait of Jacobsen’s personal world—his friendships with fellow designers, the creative circles he moved in, and the moments of spontaneity and humor that shaped his working life.
