Retro design by Arne Jacobsen
Among the furniture, the armchairs and chairs by manufacturer Fritz Hansen and the AJ lamp by Louis Poulsen™ have achieved cult status.The Swan (Swan™ Chair), the Egg (Egg™ Chair) with the matching stool to the Egg™ Chair and the Drop (Drop™ Chair) from 1958 by Fritz Hansen made their mark on the Sas Hotel, now Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Copenhagen. It was also there that Fritz Hansen's 3300 Series leather-covered sofas were first used.
Furniture by Fritz Hansen: egg or ant?
One suite and room 606 were saved over the decades, while the rest of the hotel was modernized, to the chagrin of friends of the architecture. This destroyed the overall work of art, but the lobby still makes Arne Jacobsen's design tangible: the marble slabs on the floor, the spiral staircase suspended from fourteen steel cables, the hotel bar, and the Egg Chairs in the lobby. The Swan Chair and the Egg Chair by Fritz Hansen offer maximum privacy in the public space. The furniture's organic form provided an intentional contrast to the functional hotel. The AJ luminaires used in the SAS Royal Hotel, manufactured by Louis Poulsen, provide optimal light. You can also find other iconic Fritz Hansen furniture, the Ant™ Chair, the Fritz Hansen Series 7™ Chair (Chair 3107, the stackable all-purpose chair) and the Grand Prix™, as well as Louis Poulsen lamps in your pro office store as well.
