one of my favorite chairs by Arne Jacobsen
The delicate simply beautiful chair was put into production after 56 years for the first time
The chair originally was made for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, but wasn’t ever available for purchase… until now.
The form is, of course, inspired by a drop. But there’s also a functional dimension to the shape – it’s not pure aesthetics. The Drop is designed for the restaurant at The Royal Hotel in Copenhagen – one of Arne Jacobsen’s masterpieces. In the restaurant there was very little space so they needed a chair which was very space efficient, hence the tapered backrest, so you could easily slide into the seat without moving the chair too much.
