Swan Chair

The Dwan Chair was made by Arne Jacobsen. A Danish designer that graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts in 1927. After his graduation it didn't take long for his talen to be discovered. He became an architect of buildings and furniture internationally.
The Swan Chair was designed as part of the interior for the Rasisson SAS Royal Hotel which he also designed. The chair was designed using fluid lines and not that much padding. The name for the chair came from its shaped profile.
In the original version of the Swan Chair, the foot was made by one piece of aluminum, that later changed in 1973, when the foot was made from a combination of aluminum and steel. Also, for a short period of time, it was possible to get the foot in teak wood. This version was very rare to get because it was less elegant than the other versions.
Arne Jacobsen also designed the Egg Chair, the Giraffe armchair and the Drop chair.
