Combining sculptural curves with luxurious elegance, the Fritz Hansen Swan™ Chair broke the mould of traditional furniture design, eschewing the typical linear forms of the period. Arne Jacobsen designed the chair in his garage, creating a curvaceous, comfortable piece, intended for the lobbies and lounges of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen.
Sitting on a meticulously crafted star-shaped metal base, this leather version has an unparalleled elegance, with a rich tactility provided by the sumptuous upholstery.
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.
