  • Cutlery | Arne Jacobsen for Georg Jensen
    Staff Picks | Published on March 6, 2010

    georgjensen
    www.georgjensen.com

    Arne Jacobsen was one of the leading Scandinavian architects and industrial designers of the 20th century. His 1957 introduction of a line of cutlery for Georg Jensen was definitely a highlighted moment in his impressive career. What strikes me most about his cutlery was how revolutionary it was. With extremely simple and bold lines, it was unlike anything that existed before. Previous styles of cutlery for Georg Jensen were nothing like those created by Jacobsen.

  • Lancaster by Michael Young and Emeco
    Design Information | Published on March 4, 2010

    emeco

    The Lancaster chair and table by Michael Young is the latest wood/aluminum fusion by Emeco. Last year they introduced a solid wooden seat for their chairs as a change of options.

    This interesting project was completed with Emeco’s partners, a nearby Amish wood factory in Lancaster, PA (hence the name). The hand crafted sculptural wood legs join cleanly to the aluminum seat and back.
