Michael Sheridan - Room 606: The SAS House and the Work of Arne Jacobsen.

Title: Room 606: The SAS House and the Work of Arne Jacobsen.
Description: Phaidon, 2003 Hardcover 271 pages, very richly illustrated with coloured illustrations. 28x21cm. Fine condition. ISBN 0714842893. ¶ Masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen in the centre of Copenhagen, on the sixth floor of the Royal Hotel, a single room preserves a microcosm of the definitive masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-71). Room 606 is the last surviving interior of the SAS House: an unparalleled example of modern architecture and design, completed in 1960. Jacobsen was one of the outstanding architects of the twentieth century, throughout his career, creating complete settings for daily life and dissolving the boundaries between architecture, interior and industrial design. The chapters are organized thematically: each consists of three sections that together look at Room 606 as a microcosm of the SAS House, reconstruct the original building, and trace the connections between Jacobsen's masterpiece and his other works - from whole buildings to household objects.
