More information
This fabric "Klöver" was designed by Arne Jacobsen during his stay in Sweden in the early 1940s. His wife Jonna Jacobsen, who was a trained textile printer, encouraged Jacobsen to design textile patterns. In 1944, Jacobsen exhibited 16 patterns at NK in Stockholm, of which 12 were purchased by the Nationalmuseum.
Designer
Arne Jacobsen is one of Denmark's most famous and prominent furniture designers and architects. Between 1924 and 1927, he studied at the "Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole" in Copenhagen and was later employed at Paul Holsoe's architectural office.
Jacobsen is considered one of the leading representatives of functionalism; he believed that architecture and interior design should work together and complement each other. Several famous Danish architects and designers began their careers at Jacobsen, including Hans Wegner. Jacobsen also collaborated with Fritz Hansen and created the iconic design classics "The Ant", "The Egg", "The Seven", "The Swan", the 3300 series, and the AJ lamps. He has also designed cutlery for Georg Jensen.
