This exhibition celebrates the groundbreaking design for St Catherine’s College, University of Oxford by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen (1902-71). Jacobsen created a fully integrated design that was not only architectural, but also incorporating furnishings, fixtures and cutlery, a selection of which are showcased here.
Leading Danish manufacturers of the day including Vola A/S, Louis Poulsen and Fritz Hansen all contributed to Jacobsen’s vision of modern living and Ove Arup (1895-1988) acted as consulting engineer.
Curated and designed by Friend and Company Architects, this is part of the British Council’s International Architecture and Design Showcase 2012.
Dates:
The exhibition runs from 25 June – 31 August 2012, at Arup's Phase 2.
