About Jacob Jenson
During the early 1960s, Danish designer Jacob Jensen merged the International and MAYA styles in a unique, ultramodern design language with maximum consumer appeal. He labeled it, “Different but not Strange”. Through the decades, the JACOB JENSEN DESIGN studio has continued to refine and evolve the design style by applying it to new areas and product categories. The result is a classic yet visionary design language that continues to influence and enrich the world through innovative designs.
JACOB JENSEN DESIGN was established in Denmark in 1958. It is the most award-winning design consultancy in Scandinavia. The company is based in Hejlskov, Denmark, with sister studios in China and Thailand. With more than half a century’s worth of experience in innovation, technology and communication, JACOB JENSEN DESIGN provides design and branding solutions for companies all over the world.
Clean surfaces, which upon closer investigation reveal a rich inner life. Clear lines and sharp edges inviting investigation. A delight to the eye. Calm acceptance in the mind. An invitation to embrace.
This is not a description of our design work, though it could be. It is a description of the view from the rather remarkable house in Denmark where JACOB JENSEN® has been established for more than a quarter of a century. The view is so calm and clear that it continues to inspire to our designers around the world.
Located in the small village of Hejlskov, the House of Jacob Jensen was inaugurated to mark the fiftieth anniversary of JACOB JENSEN DESIGN in 2008.
House of Jacob Jensen accommodates the JACOB JENSEN DESIGN studio, the Design Collection and a showroom for JACOB JENSEN® products.
House of Jacob Jensen is the largest permanent collection of Jacob Jensen designs in the world. Smaller collections can be found in numerous design museums around the world, including Museum of Modern art in New York and Neue Sammlung in Munich.
JACOB JENSEN® creates products based on people’s needs and dreams. We dig deeper, work harder and aim higher to make products functional, intuitive, simple, beautiful and exciting, hence building an emotional relationship between the user, the product and the brand.
Like our founder, we strive to create products that are different, but not strange, unique and unseen, hence creating a superior overall user experience compared to existing products.
