Jacob Jensen founded his studio in 1958 and
over the following decades developed the form
language that changed our view of how hi-fi
systems, telephones, watches and many other
products can look. The contribution made him
one of the most recognised designers with a vast
number of prizes and exhibitions, including a solo
exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
in New York.
In terms of design history, he gained importance
because his ground breaking form unites two main
streams of 20th century design. On the one hand,
the European Bauhaus tradition with its minimalist
“Less is more” and its modernist “Form follows
function”. On the other hand, the American design
icon Raymond Loewy’s consumer-oriented
MAYAprinciple:“Most Advanced Yet Acceptable”.
JacobJensen’s international style comprises of the
fact that he creates an ultra-modern minimalist form
language with a very high audience appeal.

Since the generation change in 1990, Timothy
Jacob Jensen established the JACOB JENSEN
trademark and clarified the universal potential
of the form language by expanding it into many
new product areas. In addition to watches and
telephones, other JACOB JENSEN products include
eyewear, timers, weather stations, smoke alarms
and entire kitchens. This contribution, which may
be understood as a far reaching creative challenge
of the form language, has kept the studio at a
high, internationally award-winning level.
Through their common form language, Jacob Jensen
and Timothy Jacob Jensen prove that the mass
produced products which surround our daily life, can
be sympathetic towards us.
They can stand in our living rooms, kitchens and
bathrooms and communicate a wealth of ideas,
humour, elegance and pleasure in use. They can be
gifts of quiet and simplicity. They can be a pleasure
to use and live with on a daily basis.
