The Swan – Swan Chair by Fritz Hansen

In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the "Swan" for the newly built Royal Hotel in Denmark's capital, Copenhagen. The chair complemented the lounge and waiting area of the hotel, where it formed a harmonious seating landscape together with the Egg Chair, also designed by Jacobsen.

Arne Jacobsen pursued his goal of integrating design and architecture in a new way and creating a relationship between the two. In 1958, the chair was a revolution—an innovative design without edges or straight lines, a lounge chair shaped entirely by curves. 

Today, the Swan remains an ideal choice both for private interiors and as furniture in waiting areas.

FAQs

The seat shell is made of molded polyurethane foam with a glass fiber-reinforced core, which is then upholstered and covered with fabric or leather.
Leather should be cleaned regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth and treated occasionally with a suitable leather care product. Fabric covers should be cleaned by carefully vacuuming and removing stains with a mild cleaning agent. Direct sunlight and heavy friction should be avoided.
