The Copenhagen Sofa: 3-Seater 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 Sofa 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 Series 3300 Sofa is a defining example of Scandinavian modernist furniture, an archetype for systematic, modular seating.

Shown in Glacier Woven Fabric on Polished Chrome Base. Match it with the Copenhagen Copenhagen Armchair & Loveseat to complete the set.

The Archetype Forms Copenhagen Sofa: Three-Seater is a faithful reproduction of the original Arne Jacobsen Series 3300 3-Seater Sofa model 3300-3 or 3303 by Fritz Hansen.

Copenhagen 3-Seat Sofa: Hommage À Arne Jacobsen Series 3300 Sofa

Copenhagen Sofa: 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 Sofa emerged from this total design approach, where furniture functioned as architectural elements within the space.

Design and Construction

The Copenhagen Sofa, 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 Sofa 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 Sofa 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.
