Description
Designing Denmark offers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of Arne Jacobsen's life and work as an architect and designer. This book delves into previously unknown aspects of his creative life, revealing the significant role that art played in both his professional and personal pursuits.
The publication sheds new light on Jacobsen's position within the European postwar avant-garde art scene, challenging previous ideas about his modernist iconoclastic reputation. Instead, it presents him as a creative innovator who worked closely with materials to transform existing aesthetics.
Featuring famous and lesser-known works by Jacobsen, including chairs, textile designs, watercolour drawings, light fixtures, and architecture models, along with hundreds of previously unseen private photographs, this book is a beautifully designed tribute to the legacy of one of the 20th century's most influential architects and designers.
