About this product
Pair of Arne Jacobsen Series 7 Bar Stools
ABOUT THE DESIGN
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 3197 barstool has a four-sided footrest in tubular steel fixed to the extended legs, preserving the visual harmony of the chair’s clean, simple construction. It was launched in 2005 to honour the 50th anniversary of the Series 7 design.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
It is said that as a child growing up in Copenhagen, Arne Jacobsen painted over the Victorian wallpaper in his bedroom. But young Arne did not cover his walls with typical childish drawings or paint the ornate wallpaper boyish blue. Instead, he decided to paint his room entirely white. His decision may seem commonplace today, but in the early twentieth century white walls were not yet in fashion. From the very beginning, Arne Jacobsen was ahead of his time.
