Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) stands as one of the most influential Scandinavian architects and designers of the 20th century, the creator of numerous icons of contemporary design. Jacobsen epitomizes the ideal that every architect aspires to: a professional capable of enhancing the living environment, from the smallest detail to the broadest vision, achieving total harmony in his projects. Through a discreet yet masterful balance of modernity, elemental forms, and traditional techniques, he transformed the world—albeit unintentionally. This book offers an in-depth exploration of both the man and his work, through a comprehensive review of his most iconic buildings and objects, along with a carefully curated selection of writings by leading experts, and several articles authored by Jacobsen himself, including an interview published in February 1971. An essential resource for understanding Jacobsen and placing him within the context of his era.
