The series 3300™ was designed by arne jacobsen for the sas air terminal connected to the sas royal hotel. The series exudes jacobsen’s unfailing sense of line and proportion and is proof of his ability to design everlasting classics. The series 3300™ forms an elegant contrast to the organic shapes of the egg and swan chairs, also designed especially for the royal hotel. Used at arne jacobsen’s round house in sjællands odde, the 3304 model is a supremely comfortable four-seater sofa with jacobsen’s signature style neatly expressed through the precise contours of the comfortable backrest and a thin, tubular steel frame. About the designer it is said that as a child growing up in copenhagen, arne jacobsen painted over the victorian wallpaper in his bedroom. But young arne did not cover his walls with typical childish drawings or paint the ornate wallpaper boyish blue. Instead, he decided to paint his room entirely white. His decision may seem commonplace today, but in the early twentieth century white walls were not yet in fashion. From the very beginning, arne jacobsen was ahead of his time. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
