1 of 12
In the presence of the queen of Denmark in a ceremony at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the committee awarded Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard as the winners of the competition. Shown here is a rendering of their meeting table and chair designs. Salto and Sigsgaard clearly took inspiration from Arne Jacobsen's Swan Chair for Fritz Hansen, originally designed for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958.
