Arne Ja­cob­sen (1902-1971), bet­ter known for his pro­mi­nent ca­reer as a de­si­gner of fur­ni­ture and ob­jects than as an ar­chi­tect, is the ul­ti­mate pro­po­nent of the mo­dern mo­ve­ment in Den­mark. Though he was a mas­ter of using tra­di­tio­nal ma­te­ri­als and tex­tu­res wi­t­hin a mo­dern ver­na­cu­lar, Ja­cob­sen was also in­te­rested in in­dus­trial buil­dings and new tech­no­lo­gies. His pu­blic buil­dings fol­lo­wed the same cri­te­ria of sim­pli­city, order, uti­lity and har­mony as all his other projects. Howe­ver, in his pu­blic ar­chi­tec­ture, Ja­cob­sen also added the di­sci­pline in­herent in stan­dar­di­sa­tion and use of in­dus­trial com­po­n­ents.
