Story
A wooden-legged exception
Fritz Hansen's product data describes the 4130's legs as angled smoothly outwards, echoing the steel legs of Jacobsen's other plywood chairs, and notes that few of his chair designs use wooden legs.
No stacking
The data adds a reminder that this chair with wooden legs cannot be stacked.
