About the Item

Arne Jacobsen is today probably best remembered for his chair and furniture designs but he was primarily an architect and that had been his training. This book deals mainly with the architectural side of his career but it is impossible not to mention his furniture designs and there are various designs shown towards the end of the book. He was undoubtedly a modernist in his design and use of materials and was not always appreciated and understood. He did as his career progressed gain many large commissions probably the two most important being the SAS Hotel and St Catherines College in Oxford - both of which projects allowed him to design everything including the furniture and fittings. Text is in English and German, all illustrations are in black and white, 175 pages.

Modern Danish Furniture by Esbjorn Hiort (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
Modern Danish Furniture is the third volume of a series of books on modern Danish applied art. This volume, like the earlier ones, is edited by the Danish architect Esbjorn Hiort, M.A.A., who has written the introduction. While Danish silver and Danish ceramics have long been well known and in great demand in foreign countries - especially among collectors - it has only been during the past ten years or so that Danish furniture has gained an international reputation. In his introduction, the author describes the modern development in this field, explains the reasons for the high artistic and technical standard of Danish furniture, and points out the characteristic details of the work of the leading Danish furniture designers. In the picture section there are numerous illustrations of unique pieces of the cabinet-maker's art as well as of fine examples of Danish commercial furniture...
