Originally designed for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958, the Fritz Hansen Swan Chair began its life in Jacobsen’s Klampenborg garage and has been produced by the brand ever since. The chair’s sophisticated, cocooned expression creates a comforting, enfolding seating space that makes it perfect for lounge and lobby areas.
When it first launched, the chair’s striking curves and sculptural silhouette made it an instant design classic, breaking the mould of linear furniture being designed at the time. Seen here with a wide range of variations, with a choice of base finish and tactile fabric upholstery, you can customise it to your liking and find the Swan chair that is perfect for you and your home.

Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen’s buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
