Arne Jacobsen Clocks

Why We Love Arne Jacobsen

Using a German design philosophy called "Gesamtkunstwerk" that emphasizes art that forms a cohesive whole, each piece by Arne Jacobsen focuses on shape and function, creating a simple, yet effective design that provides a sense of flow by honoring the innate purpose of the piece.

Fun Facts About Arne Jacobsen

In 1927, Jacobsen co-won a competition alongside his friend Flemming Lassen to design a House of the Future. The design featured simply plastered walls, balconies with metal hand rails, and a flat roof—all features that were protested at the time, but later adopted as staples of modern architecture.

"The proportion is exactly what makes the ancient Egyptian temples beautiful. And if we look at some of the most admired buildings of the Renaissance and Baroque, we notice that they were all well-proportioned. Here is the basic thing." A simple staple with style is the Station Wall Clock, which exemplifies the design philosophy of Arne Jacobsen. Proportions are key, as the face of this masterful piece presents bold black numbers on a clean white background, making for a display that's easy-to-read and easy on the eyes.
