After more than 50 years in hibernation, the Drop is now re-launched. The chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 as part of his masterpiece, the legendary SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The Drop was originally produced along with the Swan and the Egg but in a very limited number exclusively for the hotel, which ensured its status as an iconic collector’s item. Thanks to new production methods the Drop is now available in updated materials that are relevant for modern interiors as well as in fabric and leather upholstery that stays true to the original design. Despite the affordable price, the Drop remains exclusive, regardless which material you choose.The Drop is a small chair with a big personality. As fresh and vibrant as a new design but with a rare heritage, the Drop comes with an unmistakable personality that is far greater than its simplicity suggests. The attention to detail and the unique design create a bold and exceptional statement that makes the Drop as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. The design of the back combines a warm embrace with freedom of movement, resulting in a surprising level of comfort. The chair will blend elegantly into a wide variety of settings as a great example of furniture design that is able to influence and elevate an entire room by its mere presence and beauty. "Confronted with a synthetic material that lacked any structure or suggested any form, Jacobsen took his inspiration from the human form and the contours of the body. In this way, he humanized technology and the Drop chair for the Royal Hotel represents a masterful intersection of art and industry", says Michael Sheridan, architect, author and expert on Arne Jacobsen. The Drop comes in six plastic colors: black, white, storm-blue, stone-grey, fire-red and sand-yellow. The plastic versions are available with either chrome or powder-coated legs in matching colors. The Drop is also available with textile or leather upholstery.
