ROYAL DESIGN ICONS
THE EGG™
Renowned for its cocooning shape and celebrated for its sculptural sensibility, the padded Egg chair presents a synthesis of industry and nature.
THE DROP™
Jacobsen’s inspiration from the human form is especially evident in the Drop. It was also the architect’s favorite, as it allowed him to admire his wife’s figure.
THE SWAN™
Created for the lobby of the SAS Royal, the original Swan chair was made in Jacobsen’s own garage in his Klampenborg home, and has been in production at Fritz Hansen ever since.
THE POT™
A prime example of Jacobsen’s “less is more” philosophy, the embracive Pot chair once served as a focal point at the hotel’s Orchid Bar and winter garden.

3300 SERIES™
Created for the SAS terminal at the SAS Royal Hotel, this formal yet cool airport sofa also furnishes Room 606. Designed as a two- and three-seater, the 3300 series provided a convenient meeting point between the hotel’s restaurant and bar.
AJA FLATWARE™
Used in the original SAS Royal restaurant and later as a prop in Stanley Kubrick’s film A Space Odyssey, the stainless-steel cutlery showcases the lengths to which Jacobsen’s all-encompassing design went.
THE ARTICHOKE™
Originally manufactured by Louis Poulsen out of a commission from Langelinie Pavillonen, the lamp’s 72 latticed leaves now cast their warm glow over the hotel’s revamped entrance area and ten elegant meeting suites.
KAISER IDELL™ 6631
The undisputed top model of its series, the 6631 is an original Bauhaus design by Christian Dell. For the redesign of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Copenhagen, the lamp makes a sleek addition to the moody yet sophisticated tone of the Poul Kjærholm signature suite.
