The Copenhagen Armchair was originally designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1956 for the SAS Air Terminal connected to the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Jacobsen developed the Series 3300 collection as part of his complete architectural vision for the hotel project.

The Copenhagen Armchair represents Jacobsen's architectural approach to furniture, featuring clean geometric lines and modular construction that contrasts with his organic designs like the Egg and Swan chairs.

Jacobsen's 3300 Armchair is a defining example of Scandinavian modernist furniture, an archetype for systematic, modular seating. Match it with the Copenhagen Sofa & Loveseat to complete the set.

Shown in Piombo Aniline Leather on Polished Chrome Base.

The Archetype Forms Copenhagen Armchair is a faithful reproduction of the original Arne Jacobsen Series 3300 Lounge Chair model 3300-1 or 3301 by Fritz Hansen.

Copenhagen Easy Chair: Hommage À Arne Jacobsen Series 3300 Chair

Copenhagen Armchair: Architectural Furniture

Jacobsen designed the Series 3300 furniture collection in 1956 as part of his complete architectural vision for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The Copenhagen Armchair emerged from this total design approach, where furniture functioned as architectural elements within the space.

Design and Construction

The Copenhagen Armchair, based on the Series 3300 design, features a tubular steel exoskeleton supporting leather or fabric cushions. The geometric frame creates visual lightness while providing structural strength. Jacobsen refined the proportions to balance comfort with the clean modernist aesthetic he established at the SAS Royal Hotel.

Historical Significance

This Arne Jacobsen Copenhagen Armchair demonstrates Jacobsen's mastery of industrial materials and manufacturing processes. The tubular steel frame uses precise bends and joints, while the cushioning system employs high-density foam mounted on a solid beech wood inner frame for durability.

Jacobsen's original Series 3300 Armchair designs are featured in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Designer

Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen was an influential Danish designer and architect known for his contributions to Architectural Functionalism. He began his career after graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1927.

Jacobsen is recognized for his "total design" approach evident in projects like the SAS Royal Hotel Copenhagen, where he designed every element of the project from its architecture, to its finishes, furniture, lighting, accessories, and more, with all pieces working in harmony with each other. His furniture designs include the Ant Chair (1952), the 3300 series sofas and chairs (1956), and the Egg Chair (1958). Jacobsen's work, which prioritized utilitarianism and simplicity, earned him the Danish Architects' Association Honorary Medal and the ID Prize for Product Design.
