Arne Jacobsen

The designer I am picking is Arne Jacobsen. He is a Danish architect that mastered personal and successful interpretations of the international functionalism. He worked in the office of Paul Holsoe for three years. In 1930, he established his own design office and worked independently as an architect, interior, furniture, textile, and ceramics designer. His designs would start as sketches and then were modeled in plaster or cardboard in full size. in 1955 he designed the model 3107 which was called "The Number Seven Chair" and was black and white. It has become today one of the most important successes in Danish furniture history (manufactured in more than 5 million copies).  I LOVE THESE CHAIRS.

Rethinking Modernism, Revising Functionalism

Katherine McCoy revisiting and take a look back. Form follows function. I can see Jon Swindell saying that as I read. He loved that saying. She talks about her personal experience as an undergraduate in industrial design. She landed her first job at Unimark International and then American missionary for European Modernism, the graphic heir  of the Bauhaus. She learned graphic design and had her work critiqued by Massimo Vignelli aka master of Helvetica. Overtime with graphics she started to realize her obsession with cleanliness. Post modernism emerged. The process of communication and building collective knowledge has gotten her where she is today.
