FRITZ HANSEN DROP CHAIR MONOCHROME

A visionary design that looks as if it had just landed yesterday, the Fritz Hansen Drop Chair by Arne Jacobsen gives life to a forgotten masterpiece. Originally designed in 1958 and produced in limited numbers for Jacobsen’s iconic SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the design was then virtually forgotten for over 50 years. Re-launched by Fritz Hansen in 2014, the chair combines pure, Nordic sensibility with a playful colour palette.

An innovative use of plastic moulding, this tear-shaped chair is formed from a pod-like shell that preceded popular space age design of the 1960s. This futuristic feel is accentuated further by thin chromed steel tubular legs that dart out at an angle to mirror the lines of its gently spiked backrest.Novel in its invention, the Drop Chair is by no means a period piece. The sleek silhouette has an organic quality that sits effortlessly in the most modern of interiors with an inviting seat and tapering backrest that allows for freedom of movement while fitting to the contours of the body.From serene pastels to bold primaries, the selection of contemporary colours makes this highly original design the model chair for up-to-date interiors, especially when paired with an industrial inspired desk or grouped around a mid-century dining table.

Having already produced a series of designs for Fritz Hansen that are similar in construction, Jacobsen had perfected the technique of pressure moulding layers of sliced veneer, a beech wood core covered by lacquered ash, to create this robust and versatile piece.The linear outline of the Grand Prix reflects motifs common within mid-century Atomic style furniture, with two rectangular curves set at an angle atop a thin bodied backrest. Moulded to form to the natural contours of the user, the winged curvature of the seat not only provides an elegant swooping line, but also ample comfort and support.Each of the wonderfully bowed legs are given rounded indentation along both sides with discreet rubber guards in place to prevent friction between the base the frame.Made from lacquered ash wood, this angular chair is available in a range or bright or muted tones that suit modern and vintage inspired interiors.

A ubiquitous design that still grabs your attention, the best-selling Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, first produced in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen is one of the most enduring designs of the 20th century. A truly timeless piece, the flowing form of the seat anticipates 1960s pop style, while the thin tubular legs nod to classic modernist industrial-inspired design. A culmination of Jacobsen's experimentation with pressure moulded, laminated furniture the swooping curves along the backrest mirror those of the seat, while a pinched, cutaway waistline on the lower back provides a graceful silhouette. To finish, this chair is upholstered in vibrant Italian velvet in a variety of colours.

First produced in 1955, the Series 7 3107 Chair is the culmination of architect and designer Arne Jacobsen’s experimentation with pressure moulded, laminated furniture. The swooping curves along the backrest mirror those of the seat, while a pinched, cutaway waistline on the lower back provides a graceful silhouette. Resting on dainty, but highly strong, chromed tubular steel legs this space-age design can be easily stacked. To finish, a beautifully textured lacquer is applied in a variety of colours.

Created by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen, the Fri Lounge Chair is upholstered in bold upholstery. The armchair is incredibly comfortable thanks to the soft foam backrest that is specially designed for ergonomics. Brushed aluminium legs complete the design and lend it a modern aesthetic.

Designed by Japanese studio nendo for Fritz Hansen, the N02 Recycle Chair’s shell is crafted using plastic waste that is collected, processed and upcycled in central Europe. The benefit of this material is that it can be recycled in the future, if necessary. The shell itself was inspired by a simple crease of paper spotted on a work table and rests on a chromed steel base.

This special-edition CH24 Soft Wishbone Chair is a reimagining of the iconic chair with an irresistible matte finish. Originally designed by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen & Søn in 1949, this colourful edition acts as a gentle counterpart to the original. Like the classic Wishbone Chair, there are over 100 steps involved in its creation. This includes the seat, which takes skilled craftspeople an hour to weave and calls for over 120 meters of paper cord.

Hans J. Wegner designed the CH78 Lounge Chair in 1954 for Carl Hansen & Søn. The chair is affectionately nicknamed the Mama Bear Chair thanks to its comfortable curved design that invites you into its warm embrace. It is cleverly designed to be both supportive and comfortable, offering additional ergonomic support for the neck and back. Each one is expertly handcrafted by skilled artisans and completed with signature wooden armrests and legs.
