The man behind the clocks

Born in 1902, Arne Jacobsen Clocks grew up in a middle class home decorated in the popular ornate Victorian style, a style he absolutely did not take with him into his professional life. Arne Jacobsen Clocks was trained as an architect and adopted a minimalist approach to his many designs. He was not just an architect, but also a designer, and he dedicated his career to finding the essential core of an object or structure, and to rethinking products and structures from a functional, minimalist perspective. Through his designs, Arne Jacobsen Clocks was actually involved in introducing modernism to Denmark, and he was recognised as one of Denmark’s best-known minimalist designers, both nationally and internationally. His career began with traditional architecture in the form of residential and public buildings, but his interest extended far beyond drawings of buildings. He also designed interior features such as furniture, textiles, frames, fittings, door handles, clocks and much more.

The details made the difference

The Danish and internationally renowned architect Arne Jacobsen Clocks was an absolute master of total design. All disciplines were applied in the execution of his major projects, encompassing architecture to interiors, furniture design and graphics. The total design and the whole became visible in the details of his designs, as details in the whole. There is no doubt that Arne Jacobsen Clocks’s architecture and design attracted interest and recognition, but the truly magical thing is that they still do it to this day. His many design classics are still being recreated today in accordance with the master architect’s original drawings.
