Collection Story
From the Giraffe to the Little Giraffe
Fritz Hansen's fact sheet says Arne Jacobsen designed the Giraffe in 1959 for the restaurant of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (now the Radisson Collection Royal Hotel). The Little Giraffe™ is called an evolution of that chair, slightly higher and wider than the original.
Four models
The sheet separates the models by cover and base: 3201 (fixed cover, four legs), 3201R (removable cover, four legs), 3211 (fixed cover, height-adjustable, five castors) and 3211R (removable cover, height-adjustable, five castors).
