AJ Cushion
Original patterns
designed by Arne Jacobsen weave together past, present and future and decorate
these special Fritz Hansen cushions. Very few people know that Arne Jacobsen
also designed patterns for textiles, and this new Tassel pattern is a perfect
example. The Tassel cushion has a distinctive pattern created mathematically
but with a relaxed, irregular look. Irregularities meet beauty in ochre yellow.
The cushion textile is knitted wool with polyester filling. The inner cushion
is FossFlakes™ which make the cushion keeps its lovely form.

| 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. |
