Series 7 Desk Chair 3207 by Fritz Hansen

The Series 7 chair is an icon in modern furniture history, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955. Its unique shape is timeless and incredibly versatile, displaying character without overpowering the eye. The chair is made from 9 layers of pressure moulded veneer for strength, flexibility and durability despite its slender form. This is the most popular design within Fritz Hansen's chair collection. The original Series 7 chair is the 3207. It was launched in 1955 at the H55 international design exhibition in Sweden as Arne Jacobsen's reply to the criticism he received for the Ant chair. The 3207 provided a striking response with perfectly proportioned armrests that follow the contours of the curved backrest while extending the smooth lines of the rear legs to create a perfectly balanced and supremely comfortable design.
