PUBLISHED BY REALDANIA BYG St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, England (1960-64) FOREWORD Sejrø Bay, below Sjællands Odde, is home to the summerhouse that Arne Jacobsen built for himself and his family in 1937. On the edge of the pine forest, a three-metre high sand dune covered in heather rises up to unveil views across the beach and bay. This is where you will find Jacobsen’s summerhouse. The living room rests on the plateau, with its windows positioned to make the most of the pretty views. The architecture blends in perfectly with the surrounding landscape and reflects many of the values for which the Nordic interpretation of Modernism has since become famous. Among these is the belief that having sympathetic insight into and caring for the life lived within the architecture is equally as important as the functional aspects of the building, for example. The distinctive sweeping summerhouse features the white, cubic characteristics found in Arne Jacobsen’s own house on Gotfred Rodes Vej 2 (from 1928), while at the same time alluding to the new, future trends in Modernism. The functions of the living room, dining room and square of the house blend together in the central double volume space featuring an elegant staircase leading up to the open-plan room on the first floor. Sixteen years later, Arne Jacobsen replicates the shape of this room in his own home on Strandvejen 413, which, along with the Søholm Row Houses, sparks Arne Jacobsen’s international breakthrough. The summerhouse is culturally and historically significant as a leading example of a new architectural trend which has greatly influ- enced the 20th-century approach to building homes. It also exempli- fies an ambitious Arne Jacobsen who is doing well in his career. With his summerhouse in Gudmindrup Lyng, he creates a comprehensive architectural work of international standing – an icon. Through the acquisition and restoration of this one-of-a-kind sum- merhouse designed by Arne Jacobsen, Realdania Byg wants to con- serve, manage and bring this important contribution to Denmark’s cultural and architectural heritage into a new era. Realdania Byg June 2013 1 ARNE JAcobsen’s own summerhouse AT SEJRØ BAY By Kjeld Vindum “At Sejrø Bay, between Høve and Tengslemark Lyng, lies a large heath and plantation area known as Gudmindrup Lyng. Here the sea has formed a lake surrounded by meadows. The lake, which links to the sea, has little depth and is restricted by two rows of sand dunes towards the beach and three rows of pine trees towards land. The lake is rich in bird-life and the meadows’ plant-life, and it is large and peculiar. Within this area, on the edge of a little forest, lies an old sand dune cov- ered in heather, which stretches three metres above the otherwise flat land- scape and from the top of which there is a phenomenal view across the entire Sejrø Bay. On this plateau, I have placed the living room of the house – posi- tioned to face the two most beautiful views across Lumbsaas and Sjællands Odde to the north-west and across Ordrup Næs to the south-west.” Arne Jacobsen describing his summerhouse in the magazine Arkitekten.* Finding the summerhouse is not an easy task today, and various other summerhouses have since appeared.

    ARNEARNE JJAACOBSENCOBSEN THETHE TTONGUEONGUE THE TONGUE We fell truly, madly, deeply in love with this chair We admit it. We just fell in love. When the opportunity arose to take Arne Jacobsen’s Tongue chair under our wing at HOWE, we couldn’t resist. Does it sound crazy? That’s fine. We’re happy to say that we’re more than a little mad about this delightful chair. 4 5 A lost classic returns You see, the cutely named Tongue is a Danish design classic that went missing. Designed right after the Ant chair in 1955, the Tongue was always one of Arne Jacobsen’s favourites but never really found a home. Now the Tongue is back. 6 7 A visionary designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is one of the best known designers of the 20th century. An extraordinary man of immense vision, Arne Jacobsen occupies the pinnacle of modern Danish design. His work epitomises Danish modernism and is held permanently by museums, prized by collectors, and employed throughout the world in home, work and educational environments. 8 9 Arne Jacobsen’s childhood Arne Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen in 1902. He was an only child in a family where the father was a wholesaler and the mother was one of the first women in Denmark to be trained in banking. The family home was a true Victorian styled home which probably led a young Arne Jacobsen to paint the walls in his room white as a contrast to the lavishly decorated interior. 10 11 12 13 A natural talent for painting At the age of 11 Arne Jacobsen was sent away to a boarding school.

Its objective is to ensure a robust economy in Denmark, and Danmarks Nationalbank holds a range of responsibilities of vital socioeconomic importance. The Danmarks Nationalbank building is centrally located in Copen­ hagen and is a distinctive presence in the urban landscape. The build­ ing, which was built in the period 1965–78, was designed by interna­ tionally renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. It is considered to be one of his principal works. In 2009, it became the youngest building in Denmark to be listed as a historical site. When the building was listed, the Danish Agency for Culture highlighted five elements that make it historically significant: 1. The building’s architectural appearance in the urban landscape 2. The building’s layout and spatial qualities 3. The exquisite use of materials 4. The keen attention to detail 5. The surrounding gardens This publication presents the Danmarks Nationalbank building, its architecture, interiors and the surrounding gardens. For the most part, the interiors are shown as they appear today.

  • West Side Story
    1 WEST SIDE STORY Baseret på koncept af JEROME ROBBINS Efter bog af ARTHUR LAURENTS Musik af LEONARD BERNSTEIN Tekst af STEPHEN SONDHEIM Entire Original Production Directed And Choreographed by JEROME ROBBINS Originally Produced on Broadway by Robert E. Griffith and Harold S. Prince By Arrangement with Roger L. Stevens Presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) FORESTILLINGSSPONSOR VILHELM KIERS FOND 2 3 4 5 Det er volden og den diffuse trang til oprør, der giver ekko i West Side Story mindre end to år efter, James Dean har personifi ceret den dysfunktionelle, vol- delige amerikanske ungdomskultur i fi lmen Rebel without a Cause – og det er ikke kun West Side Storys ”rastløse, elektrifi cerende” dans, avisens anmelder hentyder til med sin tale om en eksplosion. Her er pludselig en musical, der tager et beskidt emne som bandekrig op og gør det til genstand for et kunst- værk. Noget, der overskrider grænserne for almindelig, pæn underholdning. Leonard Bernsteins på én gang ”provokerende og kunstfærdige” musik er med til at etablere et brud med underholdningsmaskinen Broadways eskapistiske selvforståelse. Et brud, der chokerer publikum lige så voldsomt, som Carmen gjorde det, da Bizets opera om fatal kærlighed mellem en fattig fabriksarbejder og en soldat ramte Paris i 1875. Kombinationen af Jerome Robbins’ pågående koreografi og Bernsteins dristige rytmer detonerer simpelthen som en bombe. At bruge dans som drivmiddel i en musical – og så oven i købet kombinere det med musik, der trækker på den store symfoniske tradition og operaens univers – er uhørt. Det gør West Side Story til ”en modig ny slags musikteater – en New York-juke- box-opera”, som en anden avis formulerer det.

  • Scandi Navian Design Catalog
    SCANDI NAVIAN DESIGN CATALOG modernism101 rare design books Years ago—back when I was graphic designing—I did some print advertising work for my friend Daniel Kagay and his business White Wind Woodworking. During our collaboration I was struck by Kagay’s insistent referral to himself as a Cabinet Maker. Hunched over my light table reviewing 35mm slides of his wonderful furniture designs I thought Cabinet Maker the height of quaint modesty and humility. But like I said, that was a long time ago. Looking over the material gathered under the Scandinavian Design um- brella for this catalog I now understand the error of my youthful judgment. The annual exhibitions by The Cabinet-Makers Guild Copenhagen— featured prominently in early issues of Mobilia—helped me understand that Cabinet-Makers don’t necessarily exclude themselves from the high- est echelons of Furniture Design. In fact their fealty to craftsmanship and self-promotion are constants in the history of Scandinavian Design. The four Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all share an attitude towards their Design cultures that are rightly viewed as the absolute apex of crafted excellence and institutional advocacy. From the first issue of Nyt Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri published by The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts in 1928 to MESTERVÆRKER: 100 ÅRS DANSK MØBELSNEDKERI [Danish Art Of Cabinetmaking] from the Danske Kunstindustrimuseum in 2000, Danish Designers and Craftsmen have benefited from an extraordinary collaboration between individuals, manufacturers, institutions, and governments. The countries that host organizations such as The Association of Danish Furniture Manufacturers, The Association of Furniture Dealers in Denmark, The Association of Interior Architects, The Association of Swedish Furni- ture Manufacturers, The Federation of Danish Textile Industries, Svenska Slojdforeningen, The Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo put the rest of the globe on notice that Design is an important cultural force deserv- ing the height of respect.

  • Arne Jacobsen DESCRIPTION
    AJ52 | SOCIETY TABLE – Design: Arne Jacobsen DESCRIPTION The AJ52 Society Table by Arne Jacobsen is a distinctive piece featuring a desk, lamp, table shelf and drawers in one seemingly floating piece. It brilliantly showcases Jacobsen's ability to make the complex appear simple. The desk is made of solid wood, veneer and steel and the tabletop is covered with fine-structured leather that opens at the corners to expose the legs. The wooden shelf has two compartments with glass sides and the integrated lamp is made in brushed stainless-steel. Attached with four metal tubes, the drawer unit appears suspended beneath the table, adding to the overall impression of lightness. The elements create a sophisticated, modern and elegant work desk. The AJ52 Society Table is available in two sizes and the six-drawer unit can be mounted on either side of the desk. The shelf and integrated lamp are optional. THE DESIGNER His precise yet expressive aesthetic continues to serve as a source of inspiration for contemporary designers, and his furniture designs, most created in connection with specific architectural projects, continue to excite both in Denmark and abroad. Above all else, Jacobsen viewed himself as an architect. Today, the National Bank of Denmark, the Bellavista housing estate north of Copenhagen, the Bellevue Theater north of Copenhagen and the Aarhus City Hall attest to his mastery of this realm. His extensive portfolio of functionalist buildings includes everything from small holiday homes to large projects, with everything, down to the cutlery and the door handles, bearing his personal touch. One of the best-known examples of Jacobsen's work is the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (now the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel), where he was responsible not only for the architecture, but also for all interior design elements.

"The true innermost being of architecture can be compared with that of nature’s seed, and something of inevitability of nature’s prin- ciple of growth ought to be a fundamental concept in architecture." “On the road from the first idea - the first sketch - to the final build- ing, a host of possibilities arise for the architect and the team of engineers, contractors and artisans. Only when the foundation for the choice between the various solutions derives from the aware- ness that the building must provide the people who are to live in it with delight and inspiration do the correct solutions to the problems fall like ripe fruits.” Jørn Utzon 2 DANSKA Dansko kraljestvo (krajše le Danska) je najstarejša in najmanjša nor- dijska država, ki se nahaja v Skandinaviji v severni Evropi na polotoku vzhodno od Baltskega morja in jugozahodno od Severnega morja.
