5.0 out of 5 stars Arne Jacobsen: Compact Design Portfolio, August 25, 2008

Cary Hergenrother (Culver City, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Arne Jacobsen: Compact Design Portfolio (Hardcover)

I have found that the Arne Jacobsen- Compact Design Portfolio is an excellent introduction to the many accomplishments of this legendary Danish Architect and Designer. This book features many of the products that he designed back in the 1950's and 60's, most of which are still in production today. This book also includes many of his Architectural achievments such as the SAS Royal Hotel, Copenhagen. I highly recommend it for anyone studying Design and Architecture. He was "The man" and way ahead of his time.
