A milestone for the iconic SAS Royal Hotel.
The SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (today known as Radisson Blu Royal Hotel) celebrates its 50th Anniversary this month. Arne Jacobsen designed the hotel as well as most of its furniture. For its busy lobby, he created the biomorphic Egg and Swan chairs, which are believed to be the first swiveling upholstered chairs. The chairs are still used at the hotel, and one room – Room 606 – has been left unchanged through 50 years of renovations. Room 606 is available for booking and it is one of the most recognizable and photographed hotel rooms in the world. To celebrate the hotel’s anniversary, a recreation of Room 606 (shown above) has been installed at the SAS Business Lounge at Copenhagen Airport.
Beautiful hotel. Love the egg swan chairs... adds a very elegant look. Hope to make it there someday. http://www.furniturestoresinsacramento.com/
