Room 606: The SAS House and the Work of Arne Jacobbsen

Room 606 at the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen is a rare and well-preserved example of Arne Jacobsen’s architectural expertise and iconic modernist conception.

The hotel room tells the story of Arne Jacobsen’s vision with the SAS Royal in the middle of the Danish capital. Not only did he draw the buildings, he was also highly involved with designing the interior right down to the smallest of details. In Room 606 Michael Sheridan uses the iconic hotel room as a lense through which he views the entirety of Arne Jacobsen’s masterpiece.

The book is a revised and extended edition of Sheridan’s long-out-of-print publication from 2003 with updated images and newly recorded photographs of room 606, the only rom left intact from Arne Jacobsen’s glorious days.
