Arne Jacobsen

“I do not feel that I am a designer, but a constructor.”

“People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it.”

“By placing a chair in a room, you actually change the room.”

“If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.”

“The primary factor is proportions.”

“I have no philosophy, my favorite thing is sitting in the studio.”

“On the whole, I have been favoured by the circumstance that I have been allowed to design the buildings myself.”

“I suppose I am a minimalist. What I mean is that I love to reduce things to their absolute bare minimum.”

“Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life.”
