Jacob Jensen is the son of an upholsterer, Alfred Jensen, and his wife Olga Jensen. He grew up in the rough environment of the Vesterbro area, left school after the seventh grade, completed his training as an upholsterer in 1946, and went on the road for some months, as was the custom for newly trained artisans. His father established his own furniture workshop in 1947 in Gartnergade, Copenhagen where Jacob joined him. Here he developed furniture including a sofa bed and began to design chairs. He was discovered by chance and was encouraged to attend the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. He was accepted at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts in the furniture division in 1948 as the only upholsterer among 11 furniture makers, one of which was Poul Kjaerholm. The school was a breeding ground for the many furniture designers, which have made Danish furniture world famous.
