A.J.
graduated from the Danish Academy of Art in 1927. That year
he designed his first house. During the thirties he designed
an impressive series of remarkable buildings and during his
late period, A.J. established his name and reputation as one
of the leading architects in Europe.
The National Bank in Copenhagen was A.J.´s final triumph. As
a furniture designer, A.J. is best known for his famous designs
of laminated veneer chairs. Best known designs such as "07",
The Ant", "The Swan" and The Egg" have earned international
recognition. A.J.´s genuine wicker and cane chairs were originally
made in Denmark. The chairs are now manufactured in Indonesia
and the Philippines where this level of crafmanship is still
an appreciated and honoured occupasion. |
