Room 606: The Sas House And The Work Of Arne Jacobsen

In the center of Copenhagen, on the sixth floor of the Royal Hotel, Room 606 preserves the definitive masterwork of the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971). Room 606 is the only surviving interior of the SAS House, the combined luxury hotel and satellite air terminal that Jacobsen designed for the Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) and finished in 1960.

The SAS House was the most complete commission of Jacobsen's career, in which he exercised the full range of his talents as a designer of furniture, lamps, textiles, gardens, lettering and tableware.

Richly illustrated with nearly 500 photographs and drawings, this book offers a virtual tour through the Royal Hotel and SAS Air Terminal as they were in 1960, and traces the origins of the SAS House to a series of earlier buildings and objects.
