When Was The Swan Chair Created?
The Swan chair was designed in 1958 by Jacobsen. It’s hard to say when it made a leap into the residential market, but it’s always been a chair that seems to blur the line between contract and residential, making it a very versatile design with timeless qualities. Its sculptural qualities are likely what attracted homeowners.

How Does The Swan Chair Look Like?
The first Swan chairs were based on a wooden frame and then upholstered with springs, natural fibers, fabric etc. But Jacobsen, being a true modernist, was always embracing new technology and so the new manufacturing method of the Swan made a mark at the start of the modern furniture-making era. The process of making a Swan chair spans many days because the leather has to be wetted and dried to get the right shape for of the Swan shell. After that, many hours go into the upholstery process. The mold itself and base is done by machines, but all of the upholstery (cutting, gluing, stitching) and soft foam work (cutting and gluing) is done by hand.
