The SAS House was the most complete commission of Jacobsen’s career, in
which he exercised the full range of his talents as a designer of
furniture, lamps, textiles, gardens, lettering and tableware. As the
fragment that encapsulates the whole building, Room 606 serves as a lens
for reconstructing Jacobsen’s vanished masterwork in words and images.
Richly illustrated with nearly 500 photographs and drawings, this
book guides the reader on a virtual tour through the Royal Hotel and SAS
Air Terminal as they were in 1960 – and traces the origins of the SAS
House to a series of earlier buildings and objects. As a result, the
study of Jacobsen’s work that begins in Room 606 ultimately provides a
general introduction to his entire career.
