People will know when they see this show
The kind of a guy I am
They'll recognize just what I stand for and what I just can't stand
They'll perceive what I believe in
And what I know is true
And they'll recognize I'm a one man guy
Always was through and through...
(Rufus Wainwright)

After 1½ years in exile in Birkerod I finally got myself an apartment in my hometown Lillerod 4 miles north of where I live now.

I had the opportunity to photograph this wonderful looking lounge chair the other day. The iconic Swan chair by Arne Jacobsen 1958, definitely one of my personal design favorites.
Strobist information:
A shoot-through umbrella (with a 430EX) on a boom above the chair. A Lastolite Ezybox hotshoe 60x60cm soft box on each side of the chair (slightly behind the chair) as rim lights. A 430EX and a 540EZ for the soft boxes. A silver reflector was just in front and below the camera for some fill from the umbrella. Everything triggered by the Elinchrom Skyport system. Low-key lighting.

DER Klassiker von Arne Jacobsen.
Der Stuhl der 7er Serie wurde 1955 von Arne Jacobsen entworfen und erfreut sich heute noch weltweit größter Beliebtheit. Das Prinzip des unter Dampf gebogenen Schichtholzes wurde ursprünglich von Charles und Ray Eames für den Möbelbau entdeckt und von Jacobsen übernommen. Ein großer Vorteil dieses Stuhles war die (heute obligatorische) Stapelbarkeit.
Das Bild ist uralt aus der Mottenkiste und etwa vor sechs oder sieben Jahren in einer Ausstellung in Aachen entstanden. Dort war das U-House von Toyo Ito nachgebaut und als gar reizende Bestuhlung fand sich dieses Kleinod dort.
Das Foto ist ein Scan vom Abzug des Dias, welches ich damals gemacht habe, deswegen auch nicht ganz sooo hochwertig.
p.s.: wer den haben möchte, der kann doch gerne beim Originalhersteller vorbeischauen:

The classic of Arne Jacobsen. The chair of the 7 series was designed in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen and got today a very strong world-wide popularity. The principle of the steam-bent laminated plywood was originally discovered by Charles and Ray Eames especially for furniture design and was adopted by Jacobsen. The stackableness (is mandatory today) was a big advantage of this chair. This picture was years in the mothball box and taken approximately six or seven yearsago in an exhibition in Aachen. There were a copy of the U-House by Toyo Ito and these lovely chair was found there as well.
The photo is not sooo high-quality because it was scanned from the slide which I made back then.
P.S.: those of you who want to have this jewel, can contact the original manufacturer: www.fritzhansen.com (they have also free 3D-dxf objects for download)

Composed of cubic modules of 10 square meters each the Kubeflex building system was a flexible add-on modular design. Developed in 1969-1970 in cooperation with Høm Typehuse this one-off prototype never came to be marketed.
So Arne Jacobsen's family used it for many years as their private summerhouse at Sjaelland.

One of the all time greats. Purity in design. If I was redoing this one, I would be doing in a beautifully aged leather, but then again, sometimes the absolute BEST (and smartest) move is to let someone else choose what works best for them. This one is heading upstream proving yet again that th pros get after the great stuff with fury, more now than ever.
In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This organically shaped chair has since become synonymous with Danish furniture design throughout the world.

This one doesn't have a bad angle, and its conceivable that many a dealer could go years without even getting a 'realistic' shot at one.
The Swan was designed together with the Egg in 1958 for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, and is ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as the home. Today, the Swan and Egg chair are internationally recognised style icons, the result of a challenging, inspirational collaboration between Fritz Hansen's most talented cabinet makers and Arne Jacobsen. www.avant-scene.com/en/furniture/sofas-armchairs/134-repu...
The SAS Royal Hotel, completed in 1960, was Arne Jacobsen’s masterpiece. It was a gesamtkunstwerk -- total work of art -- in which Jacobsen was architect and designer. He created a number of pieces of furniture, including the Swan Chair, especially for this project. The Swan (Svane in Swedish) and some other pieces, notably the Egg Chair, became very popular internationally. In 2017-2018, the property, now called the Radisson Collection Royal Copenhagen, commissioned Space Copenhagen to redesign the property in the spirit Jacobsen as many of the original elements had been removed or altered over the years. Space Copenhagen blended historic preservation, restoration, and new elements to re-imagine this Modernist icon for the new millennium. This included restoring and creating new Swans as well as newly designed pieces.

a location scout on the first full day back in copenhagen... went to the sas royal hotel in copenhagen, to check out the suites on the 19th floor.
we'll be building a set based on the general lay-out of this floor, but my gut feeling is that we'll make some significant changes.
for inspiration, it is interesting to go back in time to look at how the rooms were originally intended to look.
the design and décor for this room is as recent as 2001, but it looks like something out of the mid 1990s.
jacobsen designed this chair, the egg chair, specifically for this hotel. the chair was in production by 1958.
Happy Easter gang! After the break...a tall McCobb dresser, Broyhill Sculptra magna, sculptra tall dresser and low dresser, long john teak Danish super stud, another Selig lounge chair and ottoman, and a complete Vista of California walnut steel frame bedroom set (sexy!!!). Thunder!

The stork (post) brought a baby Swan chair today. It's really tiny (scale 1:16), but very nicely made. We bought it from the Danish company Minimii (www.minimii.com).
The miniature version of the Arne Jacobsen Swan chair scale 1:16, is manufactured in accordance with a license agreement between Minimii and Fritz Hansen.
My new kitchen chair!
We went looking for some cheap-ish house stuff in Wetherby. The car boot sale yielded some very useful garden equipment and another Hornsea storage jar. The adjacent antique fair was a rather nice one with many friendly dogs - nicely spaced out, and very jolly. I wanted to look for a desk/dining table - I've had my £10 IKEA desk for about 6 years and never found the right replacement. And guess what - on the grounds was a man selling nice mid-century things, not exactly flying out of the shops here but oh so lovely and elegant. So, an hour of "thinking about it" later and some very clever cold-hearted negotiating by Rob got me this Fritz Hansen 3105 chair, which will go lovely with the "dinner for one" counter in the kitchen, a fabulous Børge Mogensen dining table which can be used as a desk (currently sitting in pieces in my hallway) and a wall mirror.
The chair was made in 1970 in the Fritz Hansen factory in Denmark and was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952 for the Munkegaard School and hasbeenin production as an adult chair since 1955, I think.
It was AJ's fourth chair design (AJ3105). The one before that one were the "ant" chairs designed in 1951 for a canteen (3100 and 3101) and the "hammer" chair (3103). The more famous "7" chair(3107) was produced in the same year. Allegedly, AJ based them on designs by Charles and Ray Eames who kind of invented bent flywood for use in furniture in the 1940's.
This one is now out of production, but other models can be bought new from Fritz Hansen for a good whack more or there's cheap copies all over the place. But who wants fake when you can have the real thing, which will not collapse when you sit on it and wear much nicer.
It travelled home on my lap because the dining table was sitting in the back seat.
Next: living room. I got my eye on a Cassina Maralunga sofa. Very old, a bit beaten up, perfect project to put on whatever fabric I fancy.

I spend a lot of time in this little red chair. It sits in front of my desk, and Lord knows I'm tied to the computer too much.
For some reason I got to thinking about my little red chair today. A little online research led me to discover that it's a "Series 7," a famous design by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen. Sure enough, on the bottom of the chair it has a stamp from Hansen, circa 1968. It's a comfortable little chair, strong too.
Holly and I "liberated" it from the University of Michigan a few years back, and I always kinda thought it was special. Maybe I'll rehabilitate it some time, but then again, probably not. It's fine the way it is.
