Originally designed for the lobby of the luxurious SAS Royal Hotel in central Copenhagen by modernist visionary Arne Jacobsen, the Swan™ Chair is an interior design classic, standing as an enduring testament to Jacobsen’s exceptional talents. The chair’s instantly recognisable sculptural silhouette is devoid of straight lines, imbued with an organic fluidity that draws the eye and provides exceptional ergonomic support.
This special edition for 2024 features a new woollen textile finish from Kvadrat. The fabric’s weave follows the shape of the chair’s curve, changing subtly in appearance depending on the lighting conditions. The chair’s sweeping curves are accentuated by the addition of leather piping.
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen’s buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
