Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen, a Danish architect and designer, is well-known and remembered for his contribution to the 50s modern movement. The 'palm-embrace' like EGG chair and the SWAN chair and sofa series are some of his most popular works. Both these iconic pieces of furniture were first designed by Jacobsen for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark. Along with the Eames series, these pieces are evergreen collector items. Check out the cowhide egg chair at DWR, now retailing at only 15K. Now imagine it in my living room-converted library, near a flaming fireplace, dim lights and surrounded by ceiling-high shelves and stacks of books. Thats what dreams are made up of..
