Description

Fritz Hansen's Swan 3320 lounge chair will charm both those who see it and those who sit on it. Originally designed by Danish designer Arne Jacobsen for the lobby and lounge of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, this iconic recliner's charm lies in its gentle, friendly design – featuring no straight lines at all. Back in the 1950s, the Swan lounge chair was a technological wonder, with its curvy form breaking away from the straight and simple lines of traditional armchairs.

The Swan armchair's soft design not only offers an inviting appearance but also ensures exceptional ergonomic comfort, making it a pleasure to relax in its embrace. Whether placed in a living room or a hotel lobby, the luxurious wool upholstery adds a touch of Nordic sophistication to any environment. Upholstered in Kvadrat's special Serpentine wool fabric and finished with leather details, this special lounge chair is only available in 2024.

Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is the most celebrated post-war Danish designer and architect. He graduated from the School of Applied Arts in 1924 and from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied architecture, in 1927. Arne Jacobsen worked actively both as an architect and as a designer and received many prestigious awards for his designs, including C. F. Hansen Medal and the Grand Prix of Milan XI Triennale.

Jacobsen’s most famous project was the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (1956-1960), for which he designed every detail from textiles and lamps to cutlery and furniture. The AJ lamps, designed for the Royal Hotel and manufactured by Louis Poulsen, are a fine example of his streamlined and elegant style. The cutlery designed for the Royal Hotel and produced by Georg Jensen, represents a stylish design that is still today much praised. Also, the famous Egg and Swan chairs were designed for the Royal Hotel. As often happened with Arne Jacobsen’s designs, they were initially realized for a certain project and only later put into serial production – the same happened for the AJ lamps, the cutlery and the furniture he designed for the hotel. Royal Hotel was an extremely important project for Jacobsen because he could finally put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practice.

Jacobsen is well-known also for the Cylinda Line range, designed for Stelton in 1967. Since the very beginning, Cylinda Line has been an undisputed icon of Scandinavian design and today the range is part of numerous permanent collections in design museums all over the world.
