If it looks cool and you like it, that's fine.
Maybe I'll like it even more if I learn about the life of the creator.
Rather than just talking about the history of famous people, why not take this opportunity to speculate based on their historical records?
This time, we'll be talking about Arne Jacobsen, a name you've probably heard of before.
Enjoy Jacobsen's life story, a mix of fact and speculation.
Arne Jacobsen at the height of his power
In 1957, Arne Jacobsen was already well-known as an architect .
When it comes to chair design, when you saw the Eames masterpieces DCM and LCM, released in 1945, it must have been a bolt of lightning for you.

In the midst of all this, Master Jacob finally released the Grand Prix chair and table in 1957.

However, some of the designs were not suitable for mass production, and Fritz Hansen stopped production after just a few years.
What a coward. I made a lot of money from Seven Chair.
But Jacob the Great Genie was not discouraged by this, and he went on to hit world-class home runs with the Egg Chair and the Swan Chair .
In 1960, he completed the SAS Royal Hotel, which was the culmination of his work as an architect, furniture designer and creative director.
In a way, it's like winning the Triple Crown in Major League Baseball.
