Arne Emil Jacobsen ( 1902 - 1971 ) was a Danish architect and designer. He is recognized for his important and original contribution to both Modernism and the specific place Denmark and Scandinavia have in the Modern movement. Today, Jacobsen's legacy is primarily remembered for his furniture designs. However, he believed he was first and foremost an architect.

In 1927, the architects Arne Jacobsen and Flemming Lassen, exact contemporaries and old school friends won a competition to design a House of the Future which two years later in 1929 was constructed for The Housing and Building exhibition at The Forum in Copenhagen. Both Jacobsen and Lassen, as ambitious young architects had a clear and confident vision of what should be possible in their work in the future, and it is generally accepted that the House of the Future, one of the first buildings by what was to be called The Functionalist School of Architecture was the building that launched Jacobsen's career.
