50 years ago Arne Jacobsen’s Swan Chair hit the market. This month, Fritz Hansen has reintroduced the design in a special anniversary make-up. The upholstery is white semi-aniline leather. Each chair is numbered, out of 1,958, and sits on a pearl white base.

The chair was first designed for use in the lobby at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. At core, it is an achievement of modern material, its curvilinear shape made possible by molded plastic. Like much of mid-century design, it’s initial use in public space doesn’t limit its potential in the private home.

At Inmod, a new reproduction of the Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair has launched. The chairis built in Brazil and upholstered in the USA. Perhaps the most intriguing feature of Inmod’s offer is the choice of over 100 fabrics for covering. Built to the exact specification of the original, with polyurethane foam frame reinforced with fiberglass, it is the only custom reproduction to use Maharam/Kvadrat upholstery. Accurate and beautiful, your choice of color sits on a four point aluminum base. (via Six Different Ways).
