Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen, Vitra, Egg Chair, Swan and Butterfly chair in black, white and blue

Even before we moved to Copenhagen we named our son Arne.
After his grandfather, but also a bit after the great Danish designer Arne Jacobsen.

I admire the greatness in simplicity. The objects are designed to do the work and nothing more. And that makes them the best designed objects ever.

 When we were living in Denmark we often went to the beach. And when we were laying in the sun, we watched the great lifeguard tower. Just some beams and a cylinder. Nothing more nothing less. But so build for the job; Looking out.

That's why I end this collage white the AJ table lamp. I also take a curtsey for this big master.
