First designed in 1955 by Jacobsen, the Series 7™ Chair became a defining silhouette of modern Danish design. In the 1970s, Verner Panton was invited to reinterpret the chair, introducing bold, emotive tones that reframed its sculptural form. To mark 100 years since Panton’s birth in 1926, Fritz Hansen presents the Series 7™ - Verner Panton 100 Special Edition in four warm colours drawn from his original palette, paying tribute to an era of fearless creativity and enduring relevance.
With a bright chromed based and a shell formed from nine layers of pressure-moulded veneer, its slender profile offers remarkable strength and flexibility. Around a dining table or as a standalone accent, this special issue of the Series 7™ delivers timeless character and confident design heritage - celebrating a shared legacy of Danish innovation and the expressive power of colour.
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.
