MOMA) in New York, and It Is Proof of Jacob Jensen’S Unique Position Among the World’S Leading Designers It is a rare honour to be given a separate exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York, and it is proof of Jacob Jensen’s unique position among the world’s leading designers. < 1 > 58 MAGASIN 3/2005 Verdenskjent Få kjenner navnet hans, men mange kjenner design produktene. Flere av dem står i prestisjefylte Museum of Modern Art i New York. Han er dansk, heter Jacob – ukjent Jensen – og hans design for Bang & Olufsen er kjent over hele verden. TEKST: KIM PILGAARD designer FOTO: JACOB JENSEN, BANG & OLUFSEN Under et studieår i USA fikk Jen- sen kontakt med gigantfirmaet General Electric. De gav ham senere i oppdrag ”å se inn i frem- tiden til hi-fi design”.

B&O måtte faktisk kjøpe en fabrikk som laget strømkompo- nenter, for å få produsert en som passet i Jensens kabinetter. I mange år brukte han halvparten av tiden på å designe for B&O. Anerkjennelsen strømmet på i form av den ene designprisen etter den andre.

I tillegg har han utforsket grensen for hva som er teknologisk mulig, langt fra tradi- sjonell designtenkning, hvor man tegner et skall rundt noe som ingeniørene allerede har laget.

  • Chief Designer and Professor Timothy Jacob Jensen
    SHORT BIOGRAPHY Chief designer and professor Timothy Jacob Jensen Timothy Jacob Jensen joined Bang & Olufsen’s team of chief designers at the age of 17. At 24, his first design was included in the design collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. At 28, he took over the responsibility of Jacob Jensen Design from his father. He became chief designer for Gaggenau when he was 30. At 48, he became professor at Fudan University/ Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts and at 55, he was named Designer of Year in China. Today, Chief designer and professor Timothy Jacob Jensen is working out of his legendary Danish studio together with a team of creative associates from all over the world. Chief designer and professor Timothy Jacob Jensen was born in 1962 to an American mother from New York and a Danish Father from Copenhagen. From the age of four, he grew up in the rural surroundings of Hejlskov on the shores of the Limfjord in Jutland Denmark. From a very young age, Timothy was regarded as a prodigy by many. Having had a rebellious educational upbringing and spending only 7.5 years in school, Timothy joined his father Jacob Jensen’s design studio in 1978 and spent the next six years working there. Timothy joined Bang & Olufsen’s chief designers, Jacob Jensen and David Lewis, at the age of 17, and at 19 he had designed his first car, named Logicar.

  • Jacob Jensen's Story
    JACOB JENSEN’S STORY JACOB JENSEN (1926-2015) A VESTERBRO BOY Jacob Jensen was born on April 29, 1926 in Copenhagen, the son of an upholsterer, Alfred Jensen, and his wife Olga Jensen. He grew up in the rough environment of the Vesterbro area, left school after the seventh grade, completed his training as an upholsterer in 1946, and went on the road for some months, as was the custom for newly trained artisans. His father established his own furniture workshop in 1947 in Gartnergade, Copenhagen where Jacob joined him. Here he developed furniture, including a sofa bed, and began to design chairs. He was discovered by chance and encouraged to attend the School of Arts and Craft. THE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND CRAFT He was accepted at the School of Arts and Craft in the furniture division in 1948 as the only upholsterer among 11 furniture makers, one of these being Poul Kjærholm. The school was a breeding ground for the many furniture designers, which has made Danish furniture world famous. The international breakthrough of Danish Design occurred during the very years that Jacob Jensen attended the school. The training was based on the design methods of Kaare Klint and was taught by people such as Hans J. Wegner and Jørn Utzon. Utzon initiated a course in a brand new subject called “Industrial Design” which Jacob Jensen, greatly inspired, joined and completed as the only student. Jacob Jensen graduated from the School of Arts and Craft in 1952.

  • Jacob Jensen Design Behind New Nordic Visual Identity for Vodka Brand
    Hejlskov, Denmark, October 2016 JACOB JENSEN DESIGN BEHIND NEW NORDIC VISUAL IDENTITY FOR VODKA BRAND The vodka brand DANZKA presents a new Nordic-inspired identity and simultaneously launches THE SPIRIT – a new premium vodka of the purest quality. The Danish Design house Jacob Jensen Design is behind its visual communication born in the beautiful Limfjord surroundings of the Jacob Jensen Design headquarters. 1 DANZKA and Jacob Jensen Design have more in common than their Danish roots: Purity, functionality and quality are also key words for them both. Now these two brands reveal their new collaborative project, since Jacob Jensen Design is in charge of a notable revitalisation of the entire DANZKA visual communication platform, which will bring the brand even closer to Denmark where it saw the light of day back in 1989. NEW DESIGN REACHES BACK TO THE DANISH ROOTS OF DANZKA “In the new DANZKA visual identity, we have focused on the aluminium bottle, which is a classic piece of Danish design. The entire DANZKA identity is therefore consequently based on creating a simple Nordic atmosphere around the product to highlight its Danish origins. DANZKA vodka is primarily sold in airport duty free shops across most of the world, which is why it’s so important that its Scandinavian ties is expressed clearly,” says Chief Design Officer at Jacob Jensen Design Timothy Jacob Jensen.
