Take a seat on Orgreen

Danish Eyewear designer Orgreen has teamed up with the furniture

brand Republic of Fritz Hansen to produce a series of Arne Jacobsen Swan chairs to be showcased at the Silmo exhibition in Paris.

I'm not too sure how many people outside of Denmark would recognise the skyline depicted but  the Orgreen stand is always worth a visit. 

Ørgreen draws on architecture, art and classic American cars for its designs and uses precision engineering and high tech materials to turn them into eyewear.

 

Orgreen writes that the Swan™ chair, designed by the legendary Danish architect Arne Jacobsen in 1958, will also carry the same design as an elegant detail stitched on the wool front of the chair with a classic full leather back. I can't wait to see it and, after pacing the halls for hours on end giving my feet a rest.
