(1902–1971) Jacobsen played a pivotal role in shaping the aesthetic landscape of post-war design.

His iconic designs include the Egg Chair, Swan Chair, and the Series 7 chair, which became emblematic of mid-century modern style.

Jacobsen's legacy extends beyond his furniture creations; he also made significant contributions to architectural projects, with the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen being a notable example. His enduring influence resonates today, as his designs continue to be cherished for their timeless elegance and innovative contributions to the world of design.
