He designed whole buildings all the way down to its smallest elements. His most famous design is the SAS Terminal and Hotel Royal in Copenhagen. Here he was able to take absolute power over the entire design and everything within its environment. At the Hotel Royal and Terminal all the furniture, carpets, walls, light fixtures, door handles, clocks, lamps, and even ashtrays were designed by Jacobsen. The hotel foyer stands out as the dominant element in design with its spiral staircase. The floors are made with polished pale gray marble slabs broken up by carpets. The marble is used for circulation while the carpets create an edge. The carpets also create spaces for meeting and housing furniture. His infamous egg chairs are set around a circular table with an ashtray and a flower vase on it.
