The story behind the Jacobsen Swan Sofa
In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the building for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen and much of the interior furniture, including lamps, chairs and tables. The Arne Jacobsen Swan Sofa was created as a special model to furnish suites, lounges and the panoramic restaurant. It became a favourite with guests and quickly went on to enjoy international popularity. Its iconic status even gained the attention of James Bond, appearing alongside Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace in 2008.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Arne Jacobsen
1902-1971 (Denmark)
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential modern designers and a pioneer of minimalist Danish style. Part genius, part visionary, his creations included furniture, lighting, textiles and silverware. But he is best known for his elegant yet functional chair designs, the most famous of these being The Egg Chair, The Swan Chair, The Series 7 Chair and The Ant Chair. All Arne Jacobsen products complement each other perfectly, allowing you to mix, match and create your own unique style.
"Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life."
