Have you ever sat on a Swan chair? If not, you’re missing out
Posted by Manhattan Home Design on Jan 7th 2019
Arne Jacobsen was a visionary; you could see him as one of the guys who brought mid-century modern craziness to an elegant standard. His beloved Swan chair is a true classic, a minimalistic look at the natural beauty of the swan, an animal often associated with love, softness, and yes, elegance. He produced the first prototype in 1958 for the lobby and reception of the upscale SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen.
Having a Swan chair in your home is a style-conscious decision, meaning that you wouldn’t just buy one out of an aesthetic hunch. People who own Swan chairs usually have a distinct brand of interior design in their homes, one that brings together a playful approach with a more serious intention.

Manhattan Home Design’s Swan Chair replica
Starting at $926, the Swan chair replica by MHD follows all of the specifications from the original 1958 design, providing your home with a luxurious touch while keeping things organic. The aluminum rotating base offers a swivel that’s perfect even for office spaces, supporting the high-density foam cushions and the reinforced fiberglass frame: a marriage of softness and durability.
Manhattan Home Design’s triumph lies in bringing all of these elements together in a variety of colors that range from a sophisticated black finish to a chic baby blue and whimsical orange. The armrests stretch upwards from the curved back to provide its users with a natural open-arm position: this is not a chair you will crouch in. Consider making it into your living room’s main attraction, the suggestion that you are a person who knows exactly what they want.

MHD’s Swan chair is a big chair, though, so don’t take it lightly. The 8-inch armrests complement the 15-inch wide seat to maximize the space for the comfortable embrace of its fabrics. Original Swan chairs cost about 3-4 times as much as this replica, so we invite you to consider MHD as the starting point for a very important design shift in your home life.
