===Early life and education===
Arne Jacobsen was born on 11 February 1902 in [[Copenhagen]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Arne Jacobsen {{!}} Danish architect|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Arne-Jacobsen|access-date=18 December 2020|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref> His father Johan was a wholesale trader in [[safety pin]]s and [[snap fastener]]s. His mother Pouline was a [[bank teller]] whose [[hobby]] was floral motifs.<ref>[http://www.fritzhansen.com/en/designers/arne-jacobsen Biography from Arne-Jacobsen.com.]</ref> He is of [[Jews|Jewish]] descent.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Biography – Arne Jacobsen Design |url=https://arnejacobsen.com/life/biography/ |access-date=11 March 2023 |website=Arne Jacobsen |language=en-US}}</ref> He first hoped to become a painter, but was dissuaded by his mother, who encouraged him to opt instead for the more secure domain of architecture. After a spell as an apprentice mason, Jacobsen was admitted to the Architecture School at the [[Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts]] where from 1924 to 1927 he studied under [[Kay Fisker]] and [[Kaj Gottlob]], both leading architects and designers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/arne-jacobsen|title=Arne Jacobsen|publisher=answers.com|access-date=1 January 2010}}</ref>

Still a student, in 1925 Jacobsen participated in the Paris [[Art Deco]] fair, ''[[Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes]]'', where he won a silver medal for a chair design.<ref>{{cite book|title=Design of the 20th Century|first1=Charlotte|last1=Fiell|first2=Peter|last2=Fiell|publisher=Taschen|location=Köln|edition=25th anniversary|year=2005|page=354|isbn=9783822840788|oclc=809539744}}</ref> On that trip, he was struck by the pioneering aesthetic of [[Le Corbusier]]'s ''L'Esprit Nouveau'' pavilion. Before leaving the Academy, Jacobsen also travelled to Germany, where he became acquainted with the rationalist architecture of [[Mies van der Rohe]] and [[Walter Gropius]]. Their work influenced his early designs including his graduation project, an art gallery, which won him a gold medal.<ref name="designmuseum">{{cite web|url=http://designmuseum.org/design/arne-jacobsen|title=Arne Jacobsen|publisher=Design Museum|access-date=1 January 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100105173740/http://designmuseum.org/design/arne-jacobsen| archive-date= 5 January 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> After completing architecture school, he first worked at city architect Poul Holsøe's architectural practice.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kettererkunst.com/bio/arne-jacobsen-1902.shtml|title=Arne Jacobsen|publisher=Ketterer Kunst|access-date=1 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013085457/http://www.kettererkunst.com/bio/arne-jacobsen-1902.shtml|archive-date=13 October 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1929, in collaboration with [[Flemming Lassen]], he won a [[Architects' Association of Denmark|Danish Architect's Association]] competition for designing the "House of the Future" which was built full scale at the subsequent exhibition in [[Forum Copenhagen|Copenhagen's Forum]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.finnishdesignshop.com/Arne_Jacobsen-d-72.html|title=Arne Jacobsen design|last=Shop|first=Finnish Design|website=www.finnishdesignshop.com|language=en|access-date=19 September 2018}}</ref> It was a spiral-shaped, flat-roofed house in glass and concrete, incorporating a private [[Garage (residential)|garage]], a [[boathouse]] and a [[Helipad|helicopter pad]].
