Plastic and Fabric Types Now Available
Reissued yet still exuding a fresh, powerful aura akin to contemporary design—the Drop Chair, a masterpiece by Arne Jacobsen alongside the Swan Chair and Egg Chair, originally designed in 1958 as part of the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel project in Copenhagen, has been reissued.
More than 50 years after its creation, the Drop Chair, reissued as a new model for 2014, remains faithful to the original design while incorporating new manufacturing methods that allow for upholstery in fabric and leather. LIVING MOTIF has received the plastic version (Storm Blue) and the fabric version (Blue).
Its distinctive curved backrest, offering ease of movement and a warm embrace, creates surprising comfort and lends an air of elegance to any room, blending seamlessly into various settings.

The Master Jacobsen's Exquisite Sense in Green
The reissue of the "STATION Table Clock" now appears in a new green color. A project team formed to revive this legendary table clock, considered the origin of Arne Jacobsen's product design, has faithfully recreated the original design while adding modern features such as LED lighting, a motion sensor, and a snooze function.
This new color was personally selected by Jacobsen from a range of Pantone colors, chosen to harmonize with his own furniture and blend naturally with its surroundings. While not a conventional choice, its ability to integrate effortlessly is captivating.
