Arne Jacobsen is born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, is a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, a bank clerk, paints floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in a typical Victorian style home. As a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste, Arne paints his room in white.
Background & school relations
He met the Lassen brothers at Nærum Boarding School: later, Flemming Lassen was to become his partner in a series of architectural projects. Arne Jacobsen is a restless pupil, always up to pranks, with a self-deprecating humour. Already as a child, he showed an extraordinary talent for drawing and depicting nature through scrupulous studies. He wants to be painter, but his father felt that architect was a more sensible choice.
The Pleasant and the necessary trips abroad
Jacobsen’s travelling begin already in his twenties, when he went to sea to New York. Then followed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer in Germany and a series of study and drawing excursions to Italy. Jacobsen produced some of his finest watercolours during this period, capturing atmospheres and shapes accurately and carefully. From the beginning of his career, Jacobsen turned his gaze abroad, without abandoning Danish traditions.
Arne Jacobsen behind the design
Jacobsen production reflects his personality: an insistent, perfectionist modernist, to whom no detail was trivial, although the main picture was basically black/white and unambiguous. On the other hand, the nature-loving botanist and jovial family man: like him, his work is precise and warm, Danish and universal, modern and timeless.

The 3300™ series was created for the SAS Terminal at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, one of Arne Jacobsen’s architectural masterpieces. In harmony with Jacobsen’s architectural work at that time, the 3300 series is cool and formal. Furthermore, the 3300 series exudes Jacobsen’s unfailing sense of line and proportion and his ability to design everlasting classics. Arne Jacobsen got the inspiration for the 3300 series from a sofa, which he had designed especially for his own home in the 1940s.
The 3300 series forms an elegant contrast to the organic shapes of the Egg and Swan chairs, also designed especially for the Royal Hotel. The 3300 series consists of a 1-seater easy chair as well as a 2-seater and 3-seater sofa and is sublime for waiting and lounge areas as well as for private homes. The series 3300 is available in various types of leather and fabric upholstery and always with a chromed base.
