The Series 7™ chair is an icon of modern furniture history and was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955. Its unique shape is timeless and incredibly versatile, showing character without overwhelming the eye.
The chair is made of nine layers of moulded veneer to ensure strength, flexibility and durability despite its slender form. It is the most popular design within the Fritz Hansen chair collection.

The collaboration between Arne Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. But it was not until 1952 that the team achieved a breakthrough with the Ant™. It was succeeded in 1955 by the 7™ series, with which both Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen went down in furniture history.
The 3107
The 3107 has slender, sturdy tubular steel legs that complement the curved profile of the seat shell. The legs extend just beyond the edge of the seat, making it easy to arrange chairs in rows or stack them for storage. The frame/legs are discreetly mounted via circular disc under the seat, further enhancing the clean, minimal aesthetic of Jacobsen’s design.

About Arne Jacobsen (1902 – 1971)
Arne Jacobsen is considered one of Denmark’s most internationally significant architects and designers of the 20th century. Starting from a romantic neoclassicism, Jacobsen’s works are today among the most important contributions of modernism.
Jacobsen’s creative process focused on his rigorous attention to detail. He brought his visions to life for patrons and builders with meticulous, hand-painted watercolours. In each year, Jacobsen managed to design what others would have liked to produce in five years.
In contrast to his architectural works, many of his design projects were strongly oriented towards organic forms. From this, Jacobsen developed objects reminiscent of the formal language of abstract art, which were characterised by a concise and clear shape. Jacobsen’s closeness to nature may have played a role in the background of this different emphasis in the design field: Jacobsen was a passionate botanist. Several of his seating pieces, which were created from 1950 onwards, became popular. These bear names such as Ant™, Egg™, Swan™, Drop™ or 7™. The latter is the best-selling chair of all time. His seating furniture was all developed together with the Fritz Hansen company, which still produces it today.
