Although Arne Jacobsen was a well-known architect in Denmark, he is primarily celebrated for being the father of "Danish Modern" furniture, and, ultimately his swan chair was the piece that secured his journey into the world of furniture. He was led into this field of endeavor through his interest in Gesamtkunst ("Total artwork is a work of art that makes use of all or many art forms art or strives to do so. The term is a German word which has come to be accepted in English as a term in aesthetics." Wikipedia) As a result he saw himself quite nearly as a Renaissance man, capable of creating art from the large scale of a building to the smaller scale of a chair. His Danish Modern design motif was characterized by its simplicity of form, its use of natural wood colors, favoring the lighter varieties and metal legs. The Jacobsen swan chair was a graceful departure from this standard. To describe it is shortchanging the form and to say it resembles flower petals more than it does a swan, is also lacking in narrative. However, strictly speaking the swan chair could be broken down as a seat piece that curves convexly up on the sides as arms. The arms themselves are curved, from front to back, in an organic shape. The back begins as a narrow extension of the seat and gradually gains width as it bends upward then back. The chair is supported by a low metal pedestal with four stabilizing arms. The swan chair Jacobsen designed was originally covered in a textured weave fabric, russet in color. Cheerful in its optimistic shape and tone, facsimiles more than likely graced many residences after the original had been presented to the Radisson SAS hotel in Copenhagen, along with its notorious cousin the "Egg Chair". Looking back, it seems ludicrous that chairs of such distinction were actually named as such. It almost diminishes the singular contributions they made to furniture design. Today the Jacobsen swan chair is still sold today in many variations, color, and metal type. It has a way of fitting into any setting as an unassuming yet charming fellow piece to other representatives of the modern style. It is interesting to learn that Jacobsen eschewed the word "designer" and was known for his intense disdain of the word. Yet, he's stuck with the term as he was a designer, par excellance, and demonstrated his acumen. As the master craftsman of the beautiful swan chair Jacobsen was royally welcomed into the field of interior design. Known for his attention to it, his remark in an interview recorded his belief that, "The proportion is exactly what makes the beautiful ancient Egyptian temples [...] and if we look at some of the most admired buildings of the Renaissance and Baroque, we notice that they were all well-proportioned. Here is the basic thing".
