The Swan Sofa™ was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen and reintroduced to Fritz Hansen’s collection in 2000. The design contains no straight lines, making it organic and soft to the eye despite its simplicity and strong architectural appeal.
The Swan Sofa™ was made as a special model for the furnishing of suites, lounges and the panoramic restaurant at the SAS Rotal Hotel (today Radisson Blu Royal Hotel) in 1958. The sofa was in production from 1964 -1974 and was reintroduced in 2000. The characteristic 3-dimensional shape contains no straight lines - it is based on curves like the Egg™ and the Swan™.
The shell of the Swan Sofa™ is made of polyurethane foam with glass fibre reinforcement. The shell is upholstered with cold cured foam and covered with fabric or leather.
The shaker base is made of moulded aluminium. The two parts of the base are connected with an aluminium rail, which is screwed onto the bottom of the sofa with 2 M6 screws in each shaker base. The feet are provided with synthetic black-grey leg ferrules.
