Product description
Condition: An early original example from the 1960s, featuring a cross base. The piece is in excellent condition. Description: Arne Jacobsen was one of the most significant Danish architects and designers of the 20th century. His work is a fundamental part of Modernism and is exhibited in numerous museums worldwide. The young Arne Jacobsen initially began an apprenticeship as a stonemason before studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. It was there that Jacobsen—who had been forced to flee to Sweden during World War II due to his Jewish heritage—was appointed professor in 1964. During this period, Jacobsen intensified his work as a designer. He created classics such as The Ant, The Egg, The Swan, Grand Prix, and the Series 7—all icons of Modernism. The AJ cutlery series, which Stanley Kubrick selected for his 1968 film classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, also dates from this era. Arne Jacobsen designed "The Swan" in 1958 for the lounge area of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The design was revolutionary at the time, as it was conceived without any sharp corners or straight edges.
