Arne Jacobsen Clocks
City Hall

City Hall is a series of clocks for both the wall and the table. With its round glass form and simple hour display, it has become a national favourite here in Denmark. The City Hall clock was designed by the famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen and was originally created to hang at Rødovre Town Hall, where the clock was part of his total concept for the new town hall when it was built in 1956.

Arne Jacobsen was one of the most influential Danish architects and designers of the 20th century. He graduated from the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he also worked for many years as a professor of architectural design. Arne Jacobsen left his modernist mark on architecture and design for more than 50 years – not only in Denmark, but also internationally. His production was enormous and based on a philosophy of creating total concepts, where everything was thought into the design and where there was a common thread, from building to furniture to other interiors.
