Arne Jacobsen

Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel as a total work, including the building, interiors, furniture, fixtures, and details. The Egg and Swan chairs were created for the hotel, which opened in 1960.

Yes, the Egg and Swan chairs are still associated with the Danish manufacturer Fritz Hansen. Both designs date from Jacobsen's SAS Royal Hotel project and remain among the most recognizable pieces of Danish modern furniture.

The Series 7 chair is Jacobsen's molded plywood chair from 1955, produced by Fritz Hansen. Its simple, stackable form made it one of the most widely recognized Danish chair designs of the 20th century.

He was both an architect and a designer, and many of his buildings included custom furniture and objects. His work ranges from the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen to chairs, lamps, cutlery, and door handles.
