Jaime Hayon SAS Royal Hotel Room 506

54 years after the SAS Royal hotel's (now Radisson Blu Royal Hotel) iconic Room 606 by Arne Jacobsen, furniture maker Fritz Hansen asked the world-renowned Spanish designer Jaime Hayon to create a total design for Room 506 to match Arne Jacobsen's Room 606.

Room 506 is created with great respect for Arne Jacobsen's original design from 1958. It is different from Room 606, but the kinship is unmistakable. Jaime Hayon is clearly inspired by the classic Arne Jacobsen palette of subtle colours with a few well-placed bright accents. And like Arne Jacobsen, Jaime Hayon has created a total design for the room, including furniture, works of art, bedspreads, lamps etc. A range of existing Hayon designs for Fritz Hansen including the 'Favn' sofa, 'Analog' table and 'Ro' easy chair are complemented by a number of accessories such as a statement low-hanging ball light, lamps, cabinet, mirror and vase.

Another strong link between Room 506 and 606 is the Drop chair, which has been a sleeping beauty for the past 50 years. Although the Drop chair was originally used both in the cocktail bar and in all the rooms, today it is only found in Rooms 606 and 506. The Drop was originally produced along with the Swan and the Egg, but it was created exclusively for the hotel and was never put into standard production. This year it is back in production and available to the public for the first time. Jaime Hayon has given the Drop a new, sophisticated upholstery, which lends the chair a different expression and makes a perfect match for the beauty and the ambience of Room 506. Together with all the other furniture it beautifies the room and gives it a touch of Nordic aesthetic.

Room 506 can be rented for EURO 735 per night.
