Story
From hotel chair to relaunch
Arne Jacobsen made the first Pot in 1959 as a lounge chair for Copenhagen's SAS Royal Hotel. Some years on, Fritz Hansen relaunched it. The manufacturer describes the new version as a fresh take on Jacobsen's lounge chair that keeps the striking shape of its predecessor while improving comfort and quality to meet today's demands.
