Story
One armchair in a saddle leather series
Fredericia files the 3238 with Børge Mogensen's saddle leather chairs and dates it 1964. Its sheet speaks of a statement of craftsmanship and says the chair will only become more beautiful with age.
The armrest version
The sheet's own introduction still uses the name Spanish Dining Chair, while the model line reads 3238, armchair. The product page lists it in The Spanish Collection, which it says comes in different variations.
