Arne Jacobsen

An architect and designer. He made furniture, textiles, wallpaper and silverware. He combines free from sculptural and traditional Scandinavian designs. Is one of the first to introduce modernist ideas. He was inspired by a plywood chair designed by Charles Eames to create his most commercially successful chair models, the three-legged Ant chair. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts later. Some of his works include St. Catherine's College, Oxford, Royal Hotel and much more.
