The Drop chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 as part of his masterpiece, the legendary Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The Drop was originally produced along with the Swan™ and the Egg™ but in a very limited number exclusively for the hotel. After more than 50 years in hibernation, the Drop is now relaunched. It is a small chair with a big personality and it is as fresh and vibrant as a new design but with a rare heritage. The design of the back combines a warm embrace with freedom of movement, resulting in a surprising level of comfort.
The shell is made of ABS plastic with nylon as reinforcement inside. The plastic chair comes in four colors: White, Black, Storm blue and Stone grey. The base consists of four legs in thin tubes, available in chrome or in the same colour as the shell.
