Swan™ Fritz Hansen Choice 2024 from Fritz Hansen

The Swan™ and the Egg were both designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the lobby and lounge areas in the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. These two original designer chairs originated in Jacobsen's own garage in his home in Klampenborg north of Copenhagen and have been in production by Fritz Hansen ever since. In 1958 the Swan™ was a technologically innovative chair: No straight lines - only curves. A moulded shell of synthetic material on an aluminium star swivel base with a layer of cold foam covering the shell upholstered in fabric of leather. The Swan™ in 2008 - a collector's item: In 2008 we introduced a new variety of the Swan™ - the Swan™ as a desk chair, i.e. with increased height for exclusive conference rooms and dining rooms. The limited number of Swan™ are upholstered in soft white leather, and the base is polished in a mother of pearl finish.

The Fritz Hansen Choice 2024 presents a special edition of Arne Jacobsen's Swan™ Chair in a voluminous new wool fabric Serpentine from Kvadrat (fabric design by Giulio Ridolfo). It is both wonderful to touch and to look at. The combination emphasises the elegant curves of the Swan and is an expressive statement of contemporary style. The new Serpentine fabric from Kvadrat combines colours in a mathematical weave that subtly changes its appearance as the light changes. Elegant piping in Grace leather adds the finishing touch and emphasises the chair's characteristic curves.

During the promotional period, the Swan™ armchair is also available with exclusive Kvadrat Serpentine upholstery in 6 different colours without leather piping.

Fritz Hansen Choice 2024 is a special offer limited to the year 2024 only.
