FABRICS & PATTERNS

A passion for graphically simple and natural designs, Jacobsen understood how fabrics could be used to bring a room to life. Inspired by moods and motifs found in the Scandinavian landscape, many of his most popular wallpapers and texture patterns feature windflowers and leaves. Jacobsen’s wife, Jonna Jacobsen, a trained textile printer, was instrumental in producing these designs.

ROOM 606

Instead of using solid colors, Arne Jacobsen opted for a background of light grey wool speckled with pink and white in the carpets of Room 606. Adding both depth and texture, Jacobsen made sure that his designs were never monotonous, muted or dull to look at.
