Collection Story
Origin
Fritz Hansen's Series 7™ page is organised as a range: the chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 and its siblings, with shells made from nine layers of pressure-moulded veneer. In 2015, when the chair turned sixty, Fritz Hansen worked with seven architects on a homage to it.
Design Language
Most models come not upholstered, front upholstered or fully upholstered. The page also introduces a new range of colours and textiles for the chair.
