About the design
The Oksen easy chair takes on a sharp, powerful expression, dominating a room like nothing else. Arne Jacobsen shocked design connoisseurs all over the world when he first introduced Oksen™ in 1966 – after no less than five years of design experimentation. In contrast to many of his earlier pieces characterised by rounded, organic shapes, Oksen is the largest and most controversial chair Arne Jacobsen ever designed.

About the designer
It is said that as a child growing up in Copenhagen, Arne Jacobsen painted over the Victorian wallpaper in his bedroom. But young Arne did not cover his walls with typical childish drawings or paint the ornate wallpaper boyish blue. Instead, he decided to paint his room entirely white. His decision may seem commonplace today, but in the early twentieth century white walls were not yet in fashion. From the very beginning, Arne Jacobsen was ahead of his time.
