ARNE JACOBSEN (Denmark, 1902 - 1971) for FRITZ HANSEN.Set of six chairs model 3207 'Series 7',

Measurements: 76/46,5 cm (height).
Aniline leather is made of high-quality rawhide. As a rule, the leather has a completely natural surface, on which all natural markings are visible. This helps to bring out the unique character of the leather. The aniline leather changes over time through use and the effects of light, and quickly develops a patina of great natural beauty.
The FH 3107 chair, designed in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen and belonging to Series 7, is by far the best-selling chair in the history of the Fritz Hansen company, and perhaps also in the history of furniture. The moulded seat is an evolution of the Ant Chair, an earlier design by the same creator, and its laminated structure represents the culmination of this construction technique. In fact, the visionary Jacobsen exploited the possibilities of laminate to the full to achieve the perfection of an iconic form.
An architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen studied for four years at the Copenhagen School of Construction and then entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. His architectural highlights include St. Catherine's College in Oxford, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the National Bank of Denmark in Copenhagen, and the Royal Danish Embassy in London. As a designer, he has created furniture that has become classics, including the "Ant" chair (1951) and the "Swan" and "Egg" chairs designed for the SAS Hotel. He is also known for his 1955 model 3107 chair, also known as "Chair number 7", of which more than five million were sold, starring alongside Christine Keeler in Lewis Morley's iconic portrait. His other contribution to popular culture in the media is his designer cutlery, with spoons for both hands, which were chosen for the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" for their futuristic look. The key to the success of Jacobsen's work lies in its elegant and essential design, and it can now be found in collections such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
The Danish firm Fritz Hansen, founded in 1872, manufactures original, unique, functional and innovative contemporary design furniture. It manufactures its products in its facilities in the north of Copenhagen, making each piece in close cooperation with internationally renowned designers and architects. Its collection includes the EggChair and Swan armchairs, the Series 7 chair, the Ant chair and the Oxford chair by designer Arne Jacobsen, as well as tables and armchairs designed by Danish designers PietHein and Poul Kjaerholm.
