At a young age, he decided not to cover the walls with typical childish drawings or paint the flashy wallpaper a childish blue, but to paint the entire wall of the room white.\u003cbr\u003e White walls are now commonly used, but at the beginning of the 20th century, white walls were far from common, and it can be said that from the very start, he had an innovative aesthetic sensibility that was ahead of its time.\u003cbr\u003e Jacobsen later aspired to become a painter, but his father opposed his plans and he left home to work as a crew member on a passenger ship, but he was unable to overcome his seasickness and quit his job. \u003cbr\u003eLater, his friend, the architect Flemming Lassen, encouraged him to pursue a career in architecture, which would allow him to make use of his talent for painting, and this talent blossomed. In 1929, together with Lassen, he presented a design for a futuristic house in a modernist style for a competition, which brought him instant recognition in Denmark as one of the pioneers of modernism, and he established his own office in the same year. In 1934, he is also known for designing one of his early masterpieces, the Bella Vista housing complex along Bellevue Beach.\u003cbr\u003e When Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940, he fled to Sweden for fear of persecution, where he lived until the end of World War II, after which he resumed his active design career. \u003cbr\u003eMany of Jacobsen's furniture designs have become models for the modern style, and his best-known work is the Seven Chair from 1955, which was also famous for being used in Louis Morley's famous nude photograph of Christine Keeler in 1963. (It is said that the chair used in the photograph was not the real Seven Chair but a replica, but this incident caused the Seven Chair to gain explosive popularity and recognition, so it is said that this was implicit.) \u003cbr\u003eHis representative works include the Scandinavian Airport Building, the National Bank of Denmark, the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel, and various pieces of furniture that were produced to compose these buildings. The \"Ant Chair (1952)\" and \"Seven Chair (1955)\" are said to be the most sold chairs in the world, and the \"Swan Chair\" and \"Egg Chair\" produced in 1958 are still loved around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs this is a vintage item, there may be scratches, dents, and stains, but we ask that you understand that this is the charm of vintage items and enjoy them.
