AJ Trolley
A mobile side table
design with a sophisticated, architectural edge. Arne Jacobsen originally
designed this elegant trolley for his tea. It has now been revived from the
Fritz Hansen archive to serve as a bar cart, serving trolley or side table. This is a truly versatile and storied design.

| Arne Jacobsen |
Arne Jacobsen was born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, was a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, was trained as a bank clerk and often painted floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in Claessensgade, Copenhagen in a typical Victorian style home. Maybe that is why Arne, as a child, painted the coloured wallpaper in his room white, as a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste. |
