Among his most well-known projects are Danmarks Nationalbank in Copenhagen (1971), SAS Royal Hotel & Terminal, Copenhagen (1960) and St. Petersburg. Catherine’s College in Oxford (1963). The rumor says his fears of flying hampered him to such an extent that he did not enter the American architectural environment. As an architect, Arne Jacobsen had a strong decision-making capacity, which enabled him to influence both the design of the buildings and the majority of the details. Over the years, he has ventured into various areas related to his work, such as light fixtures, furniture, cutlery, door handles and wallpaper patterns. The “Egg” and “Swan” are two famous chairs that he designed for the SAS Royal hotel in Copenhagen.
