Upholstered Drop Chair - Fritz Hansen

After more than 50 years in hibernation, the Drop chair is back in production. The Drop chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 as part of his masterpiece, the legendary SAS Royal Hotel, now known as the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This chair was originally produced together with the Swan and the Egg, but in a very limited number exclusively for the hotel. It is a chair with a great personality and is as fresh, current and vibrant as if it were a new design but with a great history. The design of the back combines a warm embrace with freedom of movement, resulting in a surprising level of comfort.

"Jacobsen was often inspired by the human form and the contours of the body. In this way, technology is humanized and the drop chair represents a masterful intersection of art and industry," says Michael Sheridan, architect and author of the book, Room 606 at the SAS Hotel and the work of Arne Jacobsen.
