Swan-Style Chair – Red Cashmere Wool
Iconic Danish Design • Sculptural Elegance • Modern Comfort
This piece draws on the mid-century modern design tradition — styled in that spirit rather than manufactured or licensed by the original design house.
The organic counterpoint to modernist geometry
When Arne Jacobsen designed the Swan chair for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958, he was working against the dominant grid of mid-century modernism. The result was a form with no straight lines at all — a continuously curved, shell-like seat that wraps around the body without enclosing it.
The Swan-style chair in red is that design interpreted in a striking colourway: the sculptural form that works in any arrangement becomes a bold focal point in red. It is a statement in any neutral interior and a confident addition to a more colour-forward space.

Where it works
The curved profile of the Swan-style chair works especially well in spaces that already use rectilinear furniture — it provides visual contrast. Common in hotel lobbies, design-forward reception areas, and contemporary living rooms. Available in multiple colourways including black, white, and fabric options.
Complies with UK/Europe & USA fire safety regulations.
