Nu iets over ARNE JACOBSEN (want wij hebben nu bestek dat door hem is ontworpen).
Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971)is the Danish architect who master the most personal and successful interpretation of the international functionalism. His architecture includes a considerable number of epochmaking buildings in both Denmark, Germany and Great Britain. Arne Jacobsen initially trained as a mason before studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts, Copenhagen, graduating in 1927.
From 1927 until 1930, he worked in the architectural office of Paul Holsoe. In 1930, he established his own design office, which he headed until his death in 1971, and worked independently as an architect, interior, furniture, textile and ceramics designer. He was proffessor of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts, Copenhagen, from 1956 onwards. His best known projects are St. Catherine�s College, Oxford, and the SAS Hotel, Copenhagen.
Ons bestek was blijkbaar oorspronkelijk ontworpen voor dat SAS Hotel in Copenhagen. Op Serial-design.com zeggen ze daarover:
Designed in conjunction with his commission for the SAS Royal Hotel, Arne Jacobsen's stainless steel cutlery was not successfully used there but did develop an international commercial market during the 1960s. Manufactured by the Danish silversmith A. Michelsen, Copenhagen, Jeweller to the Crown, it was the firm's first tableware fabricated in the modern medium of stainless steel. This design was an exercise in utter simplicity, from the tiny coffee spoon to the long salad servers, they all share the same flat, rudimentary handles which continue uninterripted to the end of the utensils. Slight depressions form the bowls of the spoons, short prongs denote the forks and flat uniform blades signify the knives (length: 7 7/8" or 20cm), the uses of which are otherwise almost unrecognizable.
