Philip Arctander
Danish, 1916 - 1994
Philip Arctander (1916-1994) was a Danish architect and furniture designer, known for his innovative designs that blended traditional materials and techniques with modernist aesthetics. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Arctander's furniture designs were characterized by their organic shapes and use of natural materials such as wood, leather, and sheepskin. He was particularly known for his "Clam" chair, which featured a curved, shell-like backrest and a comfortable, upholstered seat.
Arctander's designs were influenced by the organic forms of nature and the principles of functionalism. He believed that good design should be both beautiful and functional, and his furniture designs were praised for their ergonomic comfort and practicality.
Arctander's furniture designs were relatively rare and produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern design. His pieces can be found in museum collections around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
