Swoon is a small, comfortable and sophisticated armchair, designed for collective and private spaces. Designed by Space Copenhagen for Fredericia, the armchair elegantly combines a shell covered with leather or fabric and soft cushions. Characteristic of Space Copenhagen's work, the form of the chair is both organic and contemporary. This armchair was born out of specific needs relating to the design of modern interiors. In various hotel and restaurant projects, designers had difficulty finding a chair that would fit perfectly, so they designed the Swoon collection. An often overlooked feature of chair design is a backrest with adequate support. Swoon has been carefully developed to provide support while providing an immediate feeling of relaxation.
Space Copenhagen is a Danish multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2005 by Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou. They work at the crossroads of disciplines, from furniture and lighting to art installations, interior design for private homes, hotels and restaurants around the world, and art direction. Their ambition is to blaze new trails by balancing opposites: classic and modern, industrial and organic, light and shade, duality and contrast. They call their approach Poetic Modernism. The principles of functionality, slow design and the study of human behaviour guide their work. The result is quality and longevity. Their various collaborations with Fredericia, AndTradition, Gubi and Mater demonstrate their ability to break with codes and constantly renew themselves. The Swoon armchair is one of their iconic creations. The use of soft colours and natural materials such as wood, stone, leather and brass develop a patina over time and lend a certain charm to objects.
