Muut tiedot
A further development of the classic Ant chair, the four-legged Series 7 chair represents the culmination of the pressure-moulding technique that Søren Hansen, founder Fritz Hansen’s grandson, spent the 1920s and 30s refining. The iconic shape of the Series 7 is the result of Arne Jacobsen’s exploration of the possibilities of steam-bent veneer.

Several famous Danish architects and designers began their careers at Jacobsen, including Hans Wegner. Jacobsen also collaborated with Fritz Hansen and created the iconic design classics "The Ant", "The Egg", "The Seven", "The Swan", the 3300 series, and the AJ lamps.
