The Swan easy chair by Fritz Hansen (Arne Jacobsen, 1958) in fabric Tonus red-orange: Arne Jacobsen designed The Swan™ as well as the Egg™ for the lobby and
lounge areas at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, in 1958. The commission
to design every element of the hotel building as well as the furniture
was Jacobsen’s grand opportunity to put his theories of integrated
design and architecture into practice. In 1958 the Swan was a
technologically innovative chair: No straight lines - only curves. A
moulded shell of synthetic material on an aluminium star swivel base,
with a layer of cold foam covering the shell upholstered in fabric or
leather. These two original designer chairs originated in Jacobsen’s
own garage in his home in Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen and have
been in production at Fritz Hansen ever since. The Swan is ideal for
lounge and waiting areas as well as the home.
The Swan easy swivel chair in fabric Tonus upholstery. The star base is made of aluminium mounted on a satin polished steel pedestal.

Designer furniture and design classics by Arne Jacobsen
The cooperation between Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) and Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. But in was in 1952 the break-through came with the Ant™. It was succeeded by the Series 7™ in 1955. This propelled his and Fritz Hansen's names into furniture history. Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. At the end of the 50s Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, and for that project the Egg™, the Swan™, the Swan™ sofa and Series 3300™. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. While the significance of Arne Jacobsen's buildings was less appreciated, his furniture and other design work have become national and international heritage.
