First created by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, the Series 7 has since become an established icon in modern furniture history. To celebrate Fritz Hansen’s story of bringing extraordinary designs to life through expert craftsmanship and innovation, the Danish brand has created an exclusive Series 7 edition upholstered in a previously unreleased Kvadrat Vanir fabric. The fabric, made by internationally acclaimed designer Raf Simons, is a woollen material with a beautiful mix of colours that accentuate the walnut veneer back and chrome base of the chair.
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.
