Claus Jakobsen

Claus Jakobsen studied carpentry at the Danish Design School of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 2005. He subsequently worked for the design manufacturer Hay where he was responsible for design, production and suppliers for over seven years before moving to Muuto and finally founding the brand Million in 2005 with his long-time friend and colleague Jens Kajus, the former creative director at the branding agency e-Types. The two had previously worked together on several furnishing projects, a collaboration they continued with Million CPH where they are responsible for a large part of the collection. A task aided by a shared design philosophy that builds on simple, modernist design with Scandinavian warmth, high-quality materials and excellent workmanship.
