Pot
Arne Jacobsen created the Pot™ in 1959 for the SAS
Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Years later, the Pot was relaunched with a fresh
take on Jacobsen’s lounge chair, revitalised for the modern interior. Retaining
the striking shape of its predecessor, the modern rendition meets today’s
demands through improved comfort and quality.

Arne Jacobsen |
Arne Jacobsen was born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, was a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, was trained as a bank clerk and often painted floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in Claessensgade, Copenhagen in a typical Victorian style home. Maybe that is why Arne, as a child, painted the coloured wallpaper in his room white, as a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste. |
