Arne Jacobsen first trained as a mason and then an architect in Copenhagen. The Dane's early work was greatly influenced by early modernists Le Corbusier and Mies Van Der Rohe and he was the first person to introduce Modernism to Denmark. Jacobsen's success comes from an organic sculptural simplicity that makes his work look effortless and gives his pieces their timeless appeal. His Egg, Swan, Ant and Series 7 have never lost their popularity. We also love the stainless steel range he designed for Stelton in 1967, the lighting he conceived for Louis Poulson between 1955 and 1960 and his bathroom fittings for IP Lunds. Jacobsen's most important architectural scheme of the 1960s, St Catherine's College, has even inspired the deep sagey-green sink backdrop in the Showhome kitchen.
