The iconic Swan armchair was designed by Arne Jacobsen and made by the Danish manufacturer Fritz Hansen in 1958. This piece is from the first production series. The armchair was created as part of Jacobsen’s comprehensive project for the SAS Royal Hotel (currently Radisson Collection Royal Hotel) in Copenhagen. The soft and organic line of the armchair is the result of the author’s artistic approach to design and innovative technology, to which Fritz Hansen secured the rights in the 1950s. This technology allows for the shaping of furniture from hard foam material and offers more possibilities than wood. This is how Jacobsen’s most famous designs were created, i.e. the Swan, Egg and Drop chairs, which combined modern technology, craftsmanship and the author’s free vision. The armchair was re-upholstered with high-quality natural leather in chocolate brown with a visible texture. The swivel, four-arm legs base is made of chrome. Swan often appeared in Arne Jacobsen’s comprehensive architectural projects, including the St. Catherine’s College in Oxford from 1964 or the cathedral-like hall of the National Bank of Denmark.

 

Arne Jacobsen was born in 1902 in Copenhagen, died in 1971. He is the most famous post-war Danish designer and architect. He graduated from the School of Applied Arts in 1924 and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied architecture in 1927. He was awarded the CF Hansen medal and the Grand Prix of the 11th Milan Triennale. Jacobsen’s most famous project was the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, for which he designed every detail, from fabrics and lamps to cutlery and furniture. AJ lamps, designed for the Royal Hotel and produced by Louis Poulsen, are a perfect example of its streamlined and elegant style. The famous Egg and Swan chairs were also designed for the Royal Hotel. Gradually, Jacobsen’s designs became more modern and simplified, but still embedded in the Danish architectural tradition.

 

Fritz Hansen, also known as the Republic of Fritz Hansen, is a Danish furniture design company whose history begins in 1872 in Nakskov. From the very beginning, Fritz Hansen and his son Christian placed emphasis on the high quality of their furniture, which is their hallmark until the present day. The long list of orders in the first fifty years of the company’s operation confirms this. At the beginning of the 20th century, Christian Hansen began experimenting with the steam-bending of beech wood, and in 1915 he created the first laminated chairs, which became the company’s specialty. Arne Jacobsen completely dominated the 1950s in the company. He started working together in 1934, but his breakthrough came when he created the Ant laminated chair in 1952. The next projects: Series 7 (1955), Swan (1958) and Egg (1958), which were designed for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, became milestones in the history of Fritz Hansen and are still produced today.

 

The chair is in very good condition. The upholstery has been restored. The seat is 39 cm high. The original signature is attached to the chair (it comes from the original leather upholstery, which has been completely destroyed by time). The leather has natural wrinkles.
