Arne Jacobsen Fritz Hansen Swan Sofa Settee, 1960's in Real Canadian Sheepskin

Creator: Arne Jacobsen

Description
Take a seat, darling. No, seriously—this is the seat. Designed by the iconic Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, this Swan Sofa is the epitome of mid-century chic with a twist of modern decadence. And this isn’t some reissue—you’re looking at a genuine 1960s beauty, steeped in history and brimming with soul.

Let’s talk about her vibe: Jacobsen’s design is all curves, no corners. A sculptural masterpiece, soft on the eyes and the tush, with zero straight lines to harsh your mellow. This sofa was built to be admired from every angle, like the design equivalent of your most photogenic friend.

We’ve had her professionally reupholstered in real Canadian sheepskin plates, because nothing but the real deal would do for a legend like this. And those seams? They’re not flaws—they’re features. Each seam is a unique detail, an artisanal touch that showcases the authenticity of the sheepskin. Without them, you’d miss the unmistakable texture and dimension that make this sofa truly next-level. It’s the kind of detail that whispers, “I’m luxurious, and I know it.”

Her base has that dreamy patina only decades of life can create—a subtle reminder that she’s seen more cocktails, conversations, and candlelit evenings than we can even imagine. Every detail whispers tales of a life well-lived.

So, if you’re ready to elevate your space with a piece of mid-century history, this Swan Sofa is waiting to spread her wings in your home. She’s glamorous, rare, and unapologetically extra.
