Rare early vintage set of two vintage Arne Jacobsen Swan Lounge Chairs by Fritz Hansen, made in Denmark. All original swivel chairs with alternate rare bases that have the option of adding casters to the feet. These iconic chairs are from the mid-20th century, showcasing the Mid-Century Modernism style. The mustard yellow color and use of aluminum and upholstery materials add to the mid century space-age aesthetic of the chairs. As original pieces from the post-1950 time period, these chairs are a timeless addition to any indoor space.
"The Swan was designed as part of Arne Jacobsen’s elaborate total interior design for the SAS Royal Hotel (now Radisson Collection Royal Hotel). During the 1950s, its free, sculptural form made the Swan the image of a new era, and today, more than 60 years later, the design is found in public space and private homes around the world.
When the SAS Royal Hotel opened in 1960, it was Copenhagen’s first skyscraper and a symbol of a new age of prosperity, travel and international outlook. Both inside and out, the hotel was designed by Arne Jacobsen, and today, it is widely considered his principal accomplishment. With Swan and Egg chairs as pivotal features, Arne Jacobsen composed an elaborate total design characterized by harmony and resonance throughout and with rich detailing in materials, patterns, colours and shapes. In this holistic design, the Swan’s soft, organic lines struck a contrast to the right angles and minimalist aesthetic of the architecture."
