Arne Jacobsen
Arne Emil Jacobsen, Hon. FAIA () 11 February 1902 – 24 March 1971) was a Danish architect and furniture designer. He is remembered for his contribution to architectural functionalism and for the worldwide success he enjoyed with simple well-designed chairs.

Still a student, in 1925 Jacobsen participated in the Paris Art Deco fair, ''Exposition Internationale des ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
