Arne Jacobsen (1902–1971) was a master of Danish modernism and one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. Trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Jacobsen built an extraordinary career in both architecture and design. He is especially celebrated for his sculptural furniture, where functionality, pared-back form and architectural thinking come together in a timeless whole.

His work also earned wide international acclaim. Over the course of his career, Jacobsen received numerous design awards, including the C. F. Hansen Medal and the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale.

Piet Hein (1905–1996) was a Danish polymath, who worked as a poet, architect, designer, mathematician, inventor as well as game designer. Growing up in Copenhagen, Hein was driven by a widespread interest in the world: he studied art, philosophy and theoretical physics in various schools, but never completed a degree. During World War II, he joined the Danish resistance movement against Germany and began publishing popular aphorisms called “grooks” under the pseudonym Kumbel Kumbell – during his career, he wrote more than 10,000 grooks in total.

Bruno Mathsson (13.1.1907–17.8.1988) was a renowned Swedish architect and furniture designer known throughout the world for his plywood chairs perfected with webbed seats, such as the Eva and Pernilla chairs.
