Ørgreen Optics has joined forces with exclusive furniture brand, Republic of Fritz Hansen, to produce a series of Arne Jacobsen Swan chairs. The chairs feature the same Copenhagen skyline design as a new special edition collection of sunglasses by Ørgreen, called Skyline Edition: Kobenhaven Frames. This collaboration is an addition to the Ørgreen Playground, a series of creative projects, which focuses on facilitating and showcasing creative and collaborative projects in a shared environment, reflecting the Ørgreen sentiment that luxury and quality can truly be playful. Frames are made of 100 percent beta titanium and the Copenhagen skyline is laser-cut into the temples. The Swan chairs carry the same skyline stitched into the front of the chair back. Both the frames and the chairs are offered in five two-tone color combinations.
