Following his win of the acclaimed Grand Prix™ at Milan’s Design Triennale in 1957 for an extraordinary geometric dining chair, Arne Jacobsen had it renamed. Now produced by Fritz Hansen, this iconic design uses layers of moulded veneer to create the eye-catching seat shell.
This counter stool version uses a taller base to add a versatile new piece to the collection. This allows you to use a similar visual language throughout the same space, with the stools at your kitchen island and Grand Prix chairs around a table.
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen’s buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
