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.

Rohde's work was highly influential in the development of Scandinavian design. He was a founding member of the Danish Society of Crafts and Design, and he served as its president from 1914 to 1929. He more...

Rohde was awarded the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1918, the highest honor bestowed by the Danish government for artistic achievement. He died in Hellerup, Denmark, in 1935.
His work is exhibited in museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.
