Johan Rohde was born in Randers, Denmark, the son of a merchant. He studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1882 to 1886, but was dissatisfied with the Academy's conservative teaching methods. In 1891, he co-founded Den Frie Udstilling with other artists who shared his dissatisfaction with the Academy.
Rohde's work was influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Art Nouveau movement. He was particularly interested in the use of simple, geometric forms and natural materials. He designed a wide range of objects, including furniture, silverware, jewelry, and textiles. His work is characterized by its clean lines, elegant proportions, and use of natural materials.
