Knud Holscher
Edit ProfileCareer
He joined the office of Arne Jacobsen in 1960 and moved to England to oversee construction of Jacobsen"s Street Catherine"s College, Oxford in 1962. Knud Holscher retired from KHRAS in 1995 and has since headed his own office Knud Holscher Design. Though starting out as an architect, it is his work as industrial designer which has brought Knud Holscher international attention and recognition.
His designs have been linked to the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm and to the work of HfG Ulm student Dieter Rams.
In 2003, he said of his work: "Design should be like buttons on a shirt. With character to catch your attention, but no more so than you can use it without thinking about it".
Holscher was professor of architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1968–1988 and professor of design from 1994.
