5 ALWAYS AHEAD OF TIMES As an architect, Arne Jacobsen dedicated his career to stripping down and rethinking products and structures from a functional, minimalist perspective. Architecture, in the form of residential and public buildings was the starting point of Jacobsen s career, but he was interested in far more than a building s exterior. He also designed interior elements, furniture, textiles, tableware, fixtures and fittings, door handles and much more. Som arkitekt bruger Arne Jacobsen sin karriere på at skære ind til benet og gentænke ethvert produkt eller bygning ud fra en enkel, funktionalistisk vinkel. Selvom arkitekturen i form af boliger og offentlige bygninger var udgangspunktet for Jacobsens professionelle liv, var det ikke gjort med de ydre rammer. Hans produktion omfatter også interiør, møbler, boligtekstiler, service, armaturer, dørgreb og meget mere. So it was no surprise that Arne Jacobsen also designed the clocks on his buildings: Aarhus City Hall, Rødovre City Hall on Denmark s National bank. Using these clocks as inspiration, Rosendahl Design Group collaborated with Jacobsen s former employee, architect Teit Weylandt, to create a new series of wall clocks. One of Jacobsen s table clocks has also been bought back into production. Derfor er det også oplagt, at Arne Jacobsen tegner ure til sine egne bygninger: Aarhus Rådhus, Rødovre Rådhus og Nationalbanken. Det er de ure, Rosendahl Design Group med kyndig vejledning fra Jacobsens tidligere ansatte, arkitekt Teit Weylandt, har omsat til vægure. Desuden har vi sat et ældre bordur i ny produktion.

6 TIME PASSES - DESIGN LASTS FIVE DESIGNS FROM FOUR DECADES LK (1939) Was originally created as a desk clock for Lauritz Knudsen. The graphic design is charaterised by a personal, almost freehand look with double hands. STATION (1941) Replaces the original LK design because the production of double hands became too expensive. The clock has something of a Bauhaus look about it. ROMAN (1942) An overtly young Arne Jacobsen, a master of classic graphic art. The superior elegance of ROMAN is sure to impress. CITY HALL (1956) Typical of its era, stringent and unsentimental design - almost institutional. Silent and beautiful. BANKERS (1971) Minimalist and modernist in style. The elegant spiral helps accentuate the passage of time round the clock. FEM DESIGNS FRA FIRE ÅRTIER LK (1939) Oprindeligt skabt som bordur. Grafikken er kendetegnet ved et personligt, nærmest håndtegnet præg med dobbeltvisere. STATION (1941) Erstatter det oprindelige LK-design, da fremstillingen med dobeltviserne blev for dyr. Uret fremstår nærmest Bauhaus kt i sit udtryk. ROMAN (1942) En tydelig ung Arne Jacobsen, der mestrer klassisk grafik. ROMAN betager alle med sin overlegne elegance. CITY HALL (1956) Tidstypisk, stramt og usentimentalt design nærmest instutionelt. Lydlyst og smukt. BANKERS (1971) Minimalistisk og modernistisk i sit udtryk. Den elegante spiral er med til at understrege tidens gang uret rundt.

8 GOOD MORNING. IT'S A NEW DAY! Arne Jacobsen designed a house in the 1930s for H.J. Hansen, manager of Lauritz Knudsen. Hansen saw potential in the young architect and asked if he might be interested in designing a clock. The result was an electric table clock, with or without an alarm, which was presented at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in Now the original clock is back in production, once again using graphic design from LK, STATION, ROMAN as well as BANKERS and CITY HALL - all with updated functions such as snooze and light sensor. Arne Jacobsen tegner i midten af 1930 erne en villa til H.J. Hansen, som er direktør for Lauritz Knudsen. Hansen kan se et potentiale i den unge arkitekt og spørger om han er interesseret i at tegne et ur? Resultatet er elektriske bordure med og uden vækker indretning, som præsenteres på Foraarsudstillingen Charlottenborg i Nu er det originale ur atter sat i produktion igen med grafik fra LK, STATION, ROMAN samt BANKERS og CITY HALL alle med opdaterede funktioner som snooze og lyssensor.

10 PERFECT WEATHER Inspired by one of the designer s most popular clocks, BANKERS, in collaboration with Arne Jacobsen s grandson, Tobias Jacobsen. With its almost ascetic black and white graphic style and charismatic red centre, the BANKERS design continues to hit the bullseye with all Arne Jacobsen fans. While the clock design has been scaled down to a size of 12 cm for the Weather Station, the proportions have naturally been maintained and are completely faithful to the original design. In addition to keeping time, the Arne Jacobsen Weather Station measures temperature, air pressure and humidity through the Bankers Clock s three new designs: the thermometer, barometer and hygrometer. Skabt over designerens måske mest populære ur-design BANKERS i samarbejde med Arne Jacobsens barnebarn, Tobias Jacobsen. Med sin næsten asketiske sort-hvid grafik og sin karismatiske røde midte rammer BANKERSdesignet fortsat bullseye hos alle Arne Jacobsen fans. Også selvom udviklingen af vejrstationen betyder, at designet skaleres ned til en størrelse på 12 cm, for proportionerne er naturligvis bibeholdt, så de er 100% tro mod originaldesignet. Udover at holde styr på tiden måler Arne Jacobsens vejrstation temperatur, lufttryk og luftfugtighed gennem BANKERS-urets tre nye design: Termometeret, barometeret og hygrometeret.
