- More Info - This
chair was originally designed for the lobby of the Royal SAS Hotel in
Copenhagen. It was technologically innovative for the time, as there were
no straight lines. The swivel base consists of a satin-polished, welded
steel tube and a 4-star base in injection moulded aluminium. It
has been in constant production since it was first designed as it is
a very popular and timeless piece. It's soft curves and organic form make it
very appealing and although looking great on it's own it looks
best in groups. It was originally designed as a side chair but a
higher version for use at tables is now available. . It is also
available upholstered in leather, vinyl or fabric. There is also a sofa version
of this chair.
