He designed virtually every element of the hotel, from its façade and interiors to furniture, lighting and smaller details, creating one of the most ambitious examples of total design in postwar Scandinavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swan represented a radical departure from conventional chair construction. Its continuous shell contains virtually no straight lines, flowing from the backrest into the arms and seat as a single organic volume. The compact swivel base beneath it makes the sculptural upper body appear almost suspended above the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the more enveloping Egg Chair developed for the same interior, the Swan is open and outward-facing. Its low back and sweeping arms give it an inviting presence while maintaining the visual lightness necessary for the hotel's public spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented as a pair in black leather, the chairs become particularly architectural. Their mirrored curves create a strong dialogue when positioned together, while the contrast between the dark organic shells and slender metal bases makes their silhouettes especially clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArne Jacobsen (1902–1971) was one of Denmark's most influential architects and designers and a central figure in the development of Scandinavian modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEducated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Jacobsen approached furniture as an extension of architecture. Buildings, interiors, furniture, lighting and objects were frequently developed together, resulting in environments of exceptional visual coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis furniture combined the rational principles of modern architecture with a sophisticated understanding of proportion, material and the human body. Designs including the Ant, Series 7, Egg and Swan demonstrate his ability to translate architectural ideas into objects intended for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SAS Royal Hotel became perhaps the clearest expression of this philosophy. The Swan and Egg chairs were created specifically for its interiors in 1958, yet both quickly developed identities far beyond the building itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swan remains one of Jacobsen's purest experiments with organic form, reducing the traditional armchair to a continuous sculptural shell supported by a remarkably minimal base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFritz Hansen was founded in Denmark in 1872 and became one of the most important furniture manufacturers in the history of Scandinavian design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts collaboration with Arne Jacobsen played a fundamental role in this development. Fritz Hansen's expertise in experimental manufacturing allowed Jacobsen to explore increasingly ambitious forms, from the moulded plywood shells of his earlier chairs to the complex sculptural volumes of the Egg and Swan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1958, the Swan became one of the defining designs of the Fritz Hansen collection and remains closely associated with both the manufacturer and Jacobsen's architectural legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe longevity of the design is remarkable. More than six decades after its introduction, the Swan remains in production and continues to feel distinctly modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth chairs retain their original black leather upholstery and metal swivel bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is well preserved and has developed a beautiful natural patina through age and use, giving each chair subtle individual character while maintaining the visual consistency of the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal bases remain in excellent original vintage condition, showing only light traces of use consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the pair is presented in excellent original vintage condition, with its materials and character beautifully preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth · 74 cm \/ 29.1 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth · 68 cm \/ 26.8 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight · 77 cm \/ 30.3 in\u003cbr\u003eSeat height · 40 cm \/ 15.7 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set of two Swan Chairs is accompanied by a Back to the Furniture Certificate of Originality, a Back to the Furniture flyer, a Thank You card and a small gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is ready to ship within 15 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping is available.
