Designed by Arne Jacobsen. The Swan Sofa was originally produced for the furnishing of the SAS Royal Hotel in 1958. Like the Swan lounge chair the sofa contains no straight lines and the form is based on soft shapes, creating an organic appearance.
After several years absent from the Fritz Hansen collection it was reintroduced in 2000, and has proven to stand the test of time with its functionality and sculptural beauty. 

Made to order in a wide choice of fabric types and colours (see a list under ‘Details’). Fabrics are priced in ‘Groups’. Simply select the appropriate price Group and then add a note of your fabric choice at checkout or email us.
