Arne Jacobsen
Add to Folder | Comments (0) | March 07, 2008

Jacobsen's bespoke furniture and lighting at St. Catherine's College, Oxford.

it was a unified architectural and interior design scheme for St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, which involved the design of site-specific furniture. Jacobsen’s work combines free-form sculptural shapes with the traditional attributes of Scandinavian design, material and structural integrity.

Influenced by Le Corbusier, Gunnar Asplund and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Jacobsen embraced a functionalist approach from the outset. He was among the first to introduce modernist ideas to Denmark and create industrial furniture that built upon on its craft-based design heritage.

- I also like his swan chair and egg chair..
