Product presentation |
Arne Jacobsen's Series 7 is one of the outstanding successes of the Danish furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen. In 1955, the designer developed this series as a complement to his Ant chair, which, however, did not achieve the desired success with its three-legged concept. Jacobsen was then commissioned to design another chair in molded plywood, which this time appeared with four legs. The result was the Series 7 chair, which has since become Fritz Hansen's biggest success and a classic of modern furniture design, with over 5 million sold. Jacobsen created an entire series combining the same seat shell for the Series 7 chairs with different bases, creating a versatile chair. The vision of the Arne Jacobsen Series 7 chair lay not only in its form, but more importantly in the manufacturing technique of the seat shells. Although the layered gluing technique was already known, Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen perfected it for the molded veneer chairs. In this process, the wood structure consisting of glued layers is shaped three-dimensionally by steam. The seat and backrest of Fritz Hansen's Serie 7 chairs are made from a single piece, with the seat shell narrowing in the middle and defining the distinctive shape of the Serie 7 chair.
