Reupholstering the Swan
model 3320.

The soft curves of the Swan need an upholsterer who knows the chair. We fully reupholster the shell and keep the curved form that makes the chair a classic.

ABOUT THE WORK

How we reupholster
the Swan.

The Swan was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen together with the Egg. The chair has no straight lines, which is exactly why reupholstering it is precision work: the cover must follow the shell without folds and without pulling.

We remove the old cover and foam, check the shell and swivel base and build the upholstery up again layer by layer. The cover is sewn in panels that follow the curves of the chair. The chair comes back with a serviced swivel base, so it stands and turns as it should.

Leather gives the Swan its classic look, while wool and bouclé give a softer, more contemporary feel. We advise based on the room the chair will stand in and how much it is used.
