Loafer Lounge Chair SC23

The Loafer SC23 lounge chair – a design that is inti­mate yet, open. Even in public spaces, it somehow makes you feel safe and protected. It’s quite a chal­lenge to create a design for a legendary build­ing filled with iconic clas­sics. Let alone the SAS Royal Hotel by one of Denmark’s own icons – Arne Jacob­sen. Founders of Space Copen­hagen Peter Bundgaard Rützou and Signe Bind­slev Henrik­sen welcomed the oppor­tu­nity with a solu­tion that could fit with the past and look fresh long into the future. Loafer.

“When­ever you design for a hotel inte­rior, there are many factors to consider,” explains Rützou. ​“With the SAS Royal Hotel, the lobby is funda­men­tal as a focal point. The piece we were asked to create had to work with their spiral stair­case and the circu­lar columns else­where in the space”. ​“By defi­n­i­tion, a lobby is so open,” adds Henrik­sen. It’s easy to feel a bit exposed. With Loafer, the shape links with the circu­lar design lingo.

Rounded in the back with a flat surface facing front, Loafer boasts a look that’s soft yet sharp. As the name implies, Loafer is all about relax­ing. You can feel comfort­able alone in your own world and equally at ease convers­ing with others, with several Loafers clus­tered together. The Loafer SC24 Chair, Loafer SC25, and Loafer SC26 sofas are also avail­able as part of our collection.
