‧‧‧ One of 283Arne Jacobsen’s architecture is characterized by a clear design language oriented towards geometry and material.
This was derived less from the function, as is often portrayed, but arose from Jacobsen’s rigid modernist concept, to which, in private everyday life, his family also had to submit. Jacobsen was seen by critics as an architectural dictator who designed buildings so rigidly that there was no room for personal changes.
In contrast to the architectural work, many of his design projects are strongly oriented towards organic forms. From this, Jacobsen developed objects reminiscent of the formal language of abstract art, which were characterized by a concise and clear shape.
