Arne Jacobsen’s designs are known for their simple forms and the elegant union of aesthetics and function. Many of his buildings and furniture pieces have become symbols of the functionalist design form, which he elegantly fused with the Danish craft tradition, and later with the modern materials used internationally. The AJ Lamp series is simply an example of this.

With its recognisable angles and lines, the AJ Lamp was designed by Arne Jacobsen for one of the world’s first design hotels. Inaugurated in 1960, the SAS Royal Hotel is a modernist ‘gesamtkunstwerk’ for which Arne Jacobsen designed not only the building, but also the furnishings and small details such as the cutlery.

The new colour palette for the AJ Lamp family is a subtle tribute to Arne Jacobsen’s passions for art and botany, drawing inspiration from the watercolours and textiles Arne Jacobsen created during his lifetime, while considering modern interior trends. In close collaboration with colour expert and designer, Clara von Zweigbergk the colours were selected to create palette that works in perfect harmony, and where each hue is a beautiful complement to the modern interior.
