Tasked with creating an epic chair design in the late 50s, designer Arne Jacobsen took inspiration from the classic wing chair and made it modern by rendering it in the period's newest materials-molded fiberglass and chromed aluminum. The result was a fully-functional, sculptural work of art-the Swan Chair was born.

Today, the Swan Chair is still held as a gold standard amongst mid-century furniture designs and is coveted by modern design lovers around the globe. As a result, we pay homage to him by producing our own take on Jacobsen's timeless design. Our take on this treasured chair provides all the best features and options to suit each user and their space.
Through a concerted application of his own architectural theories, Arne Jacobsen was able to achieve a chair design that is both art and furniture. The overall form of our chair echoes its moniker with round shape and curvy interior. It is contradictory in intention, on one hand providing privacy to the user through an enveloping form whilst being provocational in its visually-striking design.
With its inverted wing design and high curved back, the chair's privacy features make it ideal for installation in public places. Whether furnishing a hotel lobby or luxury lounge, this chair provides inviting seating for intimate conversation or personal retreat.
For residential spaces, the chair provides not only a comfortable relaxation spot for reading, it makes for the ultimate conversation piece. It's perfectly-placed solo in a quiet corner of the master bedroom or study, or in a pair in the living or media room.
While the Swan Chair reflects a wholly modern style with almost futuristic shape, the most well-known interior designers and discerning home-owners find it melds beautifully across all decor styles. The leather chair's timeless style finds it placed in public and personal spaces without regard to decorum. In the most formal interiors it provides a most unexpected, eye-catching element stirring up the oft-found stodginess of these traditional spaces. Most at home in modern or minimalist surroundings, the chair becomes more an element of comfort than conformity.
