Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Completed in 1960, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen was Denmark's first skyscraper, and its architect's masterwork.
Arne Jacobsen designed its every aspect, from the glass exterior to the fixtures, fabrics and furniture – including the now iconic, instantly recognisable egg chair. The hotel has since been remodelled, with the exception of room 606 which has been fully preserved. Taking this wonderful time capsule as a microcosm of Jacobsen's work, Michael Sheridan's exhaustive new monograph reveals the extraordinary detail of Jacobsen's work and philosophy.
