Story
Armrests on a work base
The product data presents the 3217 as the meeting of two things: Jacobsen's original armrest design and a swivel base that adjusts in height. Fritz Hansen names a work chair for the home and the office as the result.
The wheels
Twin-wheeled castors come with hard or soft wheels, so the chair can be matched to the floor surface it rolls on.
