Shuttle Chair

The Shuttle Chair is a classic modern reproduction of Arne Jacobsen's Swan Chair which was originally created in 1958 for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The Swan Chair was designed in typical Jacobsen style, often using entirely new materials to make his designs come true with no fear of pushing the material to its limit. Arne Jacobsen's Swan Chair combines modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism. The Swan Chair is unique in that sitters can swivel toward the conversation area or away from others in privacy if desired. Almost 50 years after its design, the Swan Chair is still used in advertising, film and television as a symbol of sophisticated urbanism. The Shuttle Chair features a resin frame, aluminum swivel base, recline tension, and CA117 molded foam. Available in wool melton, thick pure wool by Gabriel of Denmark, or in full Italian leather. The Shuttle Chair from RuksLiving.com was recently featured at Posh Cravings as the perfect birthday gift for your husband.
