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.
The introduction of chairs made from molded plywood.
As expected from Jacobsen, he quickly created hit products such as the Ant Chair and the Seven Chair. build up.
He was well-received, and many people said, "He really is a great teacher like Jacob!"
However, since the trigger was the American Eames chair, it really stuck with me.
It is a direct adaptation of the molded plywood technique that Eames came up with .
Furthermore, Denmark at the time was a time of mass production, meaning that there was a demand for products that could be mass-produced and combined functionality and beauty.
For Professor Jacob, who has been an architect since he was about 30 years old and has achieved many impressive accomplishments, he must have been feeling dissatisfied.
In the midst of all this, Master Jacob finally released the Grand Prix chair and table in 1957.
He showed the world his determination and ability as a designer.
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.
