A sculptural and unmistakably modern “Swan” seating set designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This set includes one sofa and a matching pair of lounge chairs, all executed in rich cognac leather with elegant satin-finish aluminum bases.
The Swan series is celebrated for its organic, flowing form-free of straight lines-achieved through a molded foam shell over an internal frame. The result is a soft, enveloping silhouette that feels both architectural and inviting. Originally conceived as part of a total design environment, the Swan remains one of the most iconic expressions of Danish modernism.
This particular set stands out for its warm, uniform cognac leather, which enhances the sculptural curves and adds a refined, timeless character. The swivel bases on the chairs provide functionality without interrupting the clean, continuous lines of the design, while the sofa offers a rare and highly desirable counterpart to the more commonly seen lounge chairs.
A complete Swan seating group like this is increasingly difficult to source-especially in matching leather and condition-making it both a design statement and a collector-level acquisition.
