Arne JACOBSEN (1902-1971) Armchair 3320, "Swan", designed in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel, Copenhagen. Suite of two armchairs Edition Fritz Hansen, circa 1966. Satin-finish aluminum frame Restored cognac leather upholstery H_87 cm Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was a leading Danish architect and designer of Scandinavian modernist design. In 1958, he designed the 3320 "Swan" armchair for the lobby and lounges of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, a comprehensive project for which he designed the architecture, furniture and interior details. Swan is an emblematic piece of organic design, distinguished by its flowing forms, with no right angles, and its foam structure molded on a pivoting aluminum base. Designed to offer both visual and physical comfort, this armchair embodies the synthesis of functionality, modernity and elegance characteristic of Jacobsen's style. Still produced today by Fritz Hansen, the Swan remains an icon of twentieth-century design.
