The Arne Jacobsen Series 7 Chair is the most popular chair in the history of Fritz Hansen and perhaps also in furniture history. This stackable dining chair features a seat in pressure moulded wood veneer that is truly a sight to behold. Often imitated, never equaled, the Series 7 is an Arne Jacobsen masterpiece.
The Series 7 Chair debuted in 1955 at the H55 exhibition in Sweden, and the appeal of what remains one of the most copied chairs of the modern era is its shape. The chair is ideally suited to the human body, its seatback has a comfortable “give,” and its waterfall seat edge doesn’t press into legs. Arne Jacobsen, who was instilled with a love of materials, shaped the core of Danish design identity when he accommodated three different bends in one piece of plywood, simply by narrowing the chair back.
Stacks six high.
This is the authentic Series 7 Chair by Republic of Fritz Hansen. Made in Denmark.
