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.

| 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. |
