Almost every time I make a building, some people will condemn it straight to Hell. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become ones entire life. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Besides, I think that when one has been through a boarding school, especially then, you have some resistance, because it was both fine comradeship and a fairly hard training. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
But I think that parents who criticise their children too much are in fact better than parents who praise their children too much. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
But inspiration? - Thats when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you havent. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Carrying out the thing, getting it to the point when one might say: There, now it is good - that point is hard to reach. Often, one sets very high goals for oneself. Perhaps too high. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
I am going to be working on bathroom fittings for a company in the USA, and then I thought it was appropriate to simplify the fittings and, thus, lowering the cost. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes

I have no philosophy, my favourite thing is sitting in the studio. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architects task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
In a way, the sense of quality has improved, the status symbol of the small things is gone, and it is acceptable to use stainless steel, even if the neighbour uses silver. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
It may sound affected - but it is the act of creation itself, and it is equally exhilarating whether one is working on a teaspoon or a national bank. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Next comes the material - not mixing the wrong materials. And out of this comes, of course, the colour - and, in sum, the overall impression. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Now, the downside to conservation is that so much is done for the public, which almost always mars the environment that one wanted to conserve. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
On the other hand, I dont understand the enthusiasm for everything in the antique shop that Grandma threw out. There, the sense of quality has declined; otherwise Grandma wouldnt have thrown it out. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
People buy a chair, and they dont really care who designed it. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes

That is the artistic task: To choose the best from these solutions. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
The primary factor is proportions. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
There is always a point when one senses ones lack of skill, the doubt. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
When I travel, I draw and paint sketches which is great fun. And as long as you are fully aware that it has nothing to do with actual art, I think thats all right. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change. - Arne Jacobsen Quotes
