Drop™ Chair
The Drop™ Chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 as part of his legendary masterpiece, the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Originally produced alongside the Swan™ and Egg™ chairs, it was made in very limited numbers exclusively for the hotel. After more than 50 years in hibernation, the Drop™ has been relaunched, bringing a rare design heritage back into the spotlight. Small in size but big in personality, the chair combines a warm, embracing back with freedom of movement, offering a surprising level of comfort.
