Arkitekten Arne Jacobsen arbejdede under sit ophold i Sverige under Anden Verdenskrig med tekstilmønstre inspireret af den vilde natur. Trykkene blev produceret for Nordiska Kompaniet i Stockholm. Efter krigen tilbage i Danmark blev hans tekstiltryk mere og mere geometriske omkring 1950. Trykket ”Vertigo” er fra begyndelsen af 1960’erne og blev produceret for COTIL, C.

Arne Jacobsen, Vertigo, early 1960s

In his exile in Sweden during the Second World War the architect Arne Jacobsen worked with nature-inspired textile print patterns, which were produced for Nordiska Kompaniet (Nordic Company) in Stockholm. Back in Denmark after the war, he took his textile prints in an increasingly geometric direction around 1950. The print ‘Vertigo’ from the early 1960s was produced for COTIL, C. Olesen’s quality collection of interior textiles.
