His work is an integral part of modernism and is exhibited in numerous museums worldwide. The young jacobsen initially trained as a stonemason before studying architecture at the royal danish academy of fine arts in copenhagen. There, jacobsen, who had to flee to sweden during world war ii because of his jewish heritage, was appointed professor in 1964. During this time, jacobsen intensified his work as a designer. He created classics such as the ant, the egg, the swan, grand prix, and series 7, all icons of modernism. Also from this period is the aj cutlery set, which stanley kubrick selected for his 1968 film classic 2001: a space odyssey.

arne jacobsen designed the model 3103 (also known as the "hammer chair" or "t-chair") in 1955. The design is characterized by its distinctive backrest, reminiscent of a hammer. This model is no longer in production.
