Meet the designer
Jørgen Rasmussen
Jørgen Rasmussen and his twin brother Ib Rasmussen were born in Odense, Denmark on April 26, 1931. Jørgen was born 10 minutes before Ib, making him the eldest. Both brothers are architects and studied at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, from which they graduated in 1955. In their student days the identical twins took great pleasure in confusing others with their appearance, dressing the same and changing places. Ib was in Greece when he should have been graduating from the academy, so Jørgen posed as his brother and defended Ib’s final project before the Academy council members. Directly after graduation, the brothers served in the Danish Navy for 14 months, then began their careers as architects.
