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.
