This was Jacobsen's chance. Now he could put his theories into practice. The brief was to design the hotel building with all its details and furnishings.

Now an absolute classic and impossible to imagine without. Arne Jacobsen was the first to use a new technique to produce this chair. This consisted of a solid plastic shell with cold foam upholstery.
