Arne Jacobsen (1902-71) is one of the design greats of the twentieth century. Here in the UK, he designed St Catherine's College (1964) in Oxford. His design "went much further than the buildings and grounds, as he created an integrated environment that was both practical and beautiful, including the cutlery, furniture and lighting". This is a 1964 photo of the Junior Common Room with his 'Swan' armchairs. The college is well worth a visit.
