Skovshoved Gas Station (1937) / Arne Jacobsen

¥15,400
 
Created for the centenary exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of Arne Jacobsen, held in 2002 at Denmark’s Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, this poster features the iconic Skovshoved Gas Station (1937). Built near Skovshoved Harbour, just north of Copenhagen, the gas station is a celebrated example of Jacobsen’s functionalist approach to architecture and is now a protected landmark. Its most striking feature is the dramatically cantilevered circular roof, which creates areas of shade while reflecting light from the central column and surrounding lamps. This thoughtful interplay of form and illumination anticipates ideas found in contemporary uplighting, underscoring Jacobsen’s lasting influence on modern architectural design.
