Arne Jacobsen

Considered by many to be the father of modern Danish design, Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer, but his accomplishments in architecture faded next to his design work. In 1950, he designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen from the exterior facade right through to the swan and egg chairs that grace the lobby, resulting in the world's first designer hotel.

Although in the business since 1934, it was Arne Jacobsen's Ant chair, designed in 1952 and followed by his 3107 series that earned him National and International fame and made him one of the most respected names in the Industry.
