SWAN SOFA by Arne Jacobsen

Design of the 20th Century.

This amazing piece of furniture is called SWAN SOFA. It was designed for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen- for the suites, lounges and the Panoramic room at the 21st floor. An outstretched 2-seater version of the Swan chair covered in different types of leather or fabric and resting on an aluminium shaker base.

I can't believe it was 1958. Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. It's still available from Fritz Hansen.

Sin Den,Tokyo - family house

Located in Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Sin Den was designed by Klein Dytham architecture for a young couple and their baby. Part house, part ‘cutting-edge’ salon, the building is meant to attract ‘those who have their own style and seek a perfect hideaway’.

From the exterior the house/salon is meant to stand out and draw attention to itself. Filling the 50 square meter site with what is essentially a black box, the designers were trying to create a strong graphic image on the otherwise simple and massive box - displaying the creativity and uniqueness of the home’s inhabitants.

The interior of the building is, apparently, quite the opposite - creating what Klein Dytham describes as the ‘perfect interior for a family home’ through a simpler design, with ‘natural’ colors and spaces flooded with natural light from the large windows cut in the ‘box’.

Idealist - dreamed projects

With Jonas Samson’s high-tech light-emitting wallpaper it’s possible to use a two-dimentional flat surface as light source instead of a 3D object. As long as the wallpaper is turned ‘off’, it is indistinguishable as a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.
