<\/p>\nMany are familiar with Arne Jacobsen\u2019s world-famous chair designs: the 7 chair, the Ant, the Swan and the Egg. But only few know that the Danish architect and designer also created a modular summerhouse. Known as Kubeflex, the design revolves around cube-shaped modules that can be combined to suit individual needs, enabling the house to change its layout and size as required.<\/p>\n
Arne Jacobsen designed Kubeflex in 1969\u201370, just one year before his death in 1971, but it never entered production. Until 2002, the Jacobsen family used the house as a summerhouse. It arrived at Trapholt in 2005. The only one of its kind, the house is decorated with Arne Jacobsen designs inside.<\/p>\n
For many years, the modular house was located on a south Zealand beach, serving as a summerhouse for the Jacobsen family. Only the most enthusiastic architects knew of its existence, but nevertheless many professionals contacted the family in the hope of being allowed to view this radical take on modern living.<\/p>\n
Now, it gives Trapholt and Arne Jacobsen\u2019s family great pleasure to see the house made accessible to the general public, placed in the museum grounds and commanding splendid views of Kolding Fjord.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Kubeflex house gives Trapholt a unique opportunity to show Arne Jacobsen\u2019s designs in a house designed by the master himself. Visitors will find interiors set out as dining and living rooms, incorporating examples of Arne Jacobsen\u2019s other designs, such as the Vola line of faucets and the Cylinda-line series. Audiences are treated to an immersive experience of the internationally renowned architect\u2019s designs, which beautifully complements the museum\u2019s large collection of furniture by Danish architects and designers.<\/p>\n
Kubeflex was a pioneering contribution to the flexible architecture created back in the late 1960s. Preserved at Trapholt, Kubeflex will continue to inspire, amaze and delight guests from around the world for many years to come. Trapholt organises daily guided tours of the Kubeflex house; these tours are free for all museum visitors with a valid ticket.<\/p>\n
