After researching
Arne Jacobsen’s wonderful furniture pieces for yesterday’s Designer Influence, we couldn’t help but fall in love with one of his pieces. Doing a quick scan of Swank Lighting’s website proved that there was a perfect pair and a perfect match!
After featuring a cabinet last week, we’re back in love with chairs, and this time it's this
leather Egg Chair of Arne Jacobsen. Also a prolific architect, Jacobsen produced many of his iconic furniture pieces for his famed Radisson SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, among them, the Egg Chair. While this 1stdibs dealer isn’t sure whether this particular chair was made for the hotel, he can promise that it was one of the earlier models, due to the seat cushion being intrinsic to the chair (later models saw a separate seat cushion). Whatever this chair was made for, we don’t really care, because just look at it---it was made to go in any space! We are in love with the worn, leather look on this modernly-shaped chair. What an interesting and dynamic combination, don’t you think? The leather lends a bit of masculinity to the chair, wher eas the curved and organic shape feels feminine. This particular Egg Chair is definitely a successful study in contradictions.
With it, we would pair this stunning set of Swank Lighting lamps, the
Iridescent Clear Crystal Murano Lamps in Sleek Sculptural Style, which are from Swank's new Contemporary Murano line currently being imported from Italy. These lamps are over-the-top luxurious, featuring many crystal details that give them a great texture. A clear color, but with an iridescent finish, the lamps are at once neutral, but also refusing to sit in the background. With a tall, cylindrical shape barely containing the great irregular shapes of the crystals, these lamps are a bit of a contradiction themselves.
Together, the Arne Jacobsen leather Egg Chair and Swank Lighting Crystal Murano Lamps make for a dynamic and unexpected combination. The leather chair brings both masculinity and modernity, whereas the lamps bring unbridled femininity and a sassy Hollywood Regency feel. Instead of fighting each other, the lamps and chair heighten each other’s commonalities, making for a gorgeous composition fitting for either a Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency styled room. The power of this combination of décor pieces could even be enough to create an entire space on the premise of mixing two seemingly opposite styles: modern and luxurious.
