Bankers

Bankers is a series of clocks for both the wall and the table. With its red signature detail in the middle, it is a beautiful example of Danish design and its many qualities. The Bankers clock was designed in 1971 by the famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, who was one of the world’s leading modernists. It was originally created for Danmarks Nationalbank building as part of a project for which Jacobsen was total architect.

Arne Jacobsen was one of the most influential Danish architects and designers of the 20th century. He graduated from the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he also worked for many years as a professor of architectural design. Arne Jacobsen left his modernist mark on architecture and design for more than 50 years – not only in Denmark, but also internationally. His production was enormous and based on a philosophy of creating total concepts, where everything was thought into the design and where there was a common thread, from building to furniture to other interiors.
