The Swan Chair by Arne Jacobsen, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, expresses Scandinavian design through its sculpted shell that is upholstered in carefully selected textile or leather finishes, creating a surface that emphasizes both tactility and visual softness. It reflects Scandinavian design through its curved form in lacquered and upholstered materials, where structure and comfort are unified within a restrained composition.

The upholstery works in dialogue with the base, which is formed in satin-polished or brushed aluminum, reinforcing the clarity and balance typical of Scandinavian design. It carries forward Danish design and Danish modern principles by focusing on material integrity and a continuous, flowing silhouette that defines the chair’s presence within a Scandinavian design context.

Founded in Denmark in 1872, Fritz Hansen has a long history of collaborating with international designers to bring visionary concepts into everyday spaces. Its extensive archive, dating back to its very first chair, continues to inform how Danish design and Danish modern values shape Scandinavian design today.
