The Fritz Hansen Series 7 Dining Chair in Lacquered Finish, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, is a celebrated icon of Scandinavian furniture design.
Recognised for its sculptural silhouette and elegant proportions, this original designer chair combines a smooth, coloured seat with a lightweight frame to create a timeless addition to contemporary and classic interiors.
Available in a range of lacquered colours and leg finishes, the Series 7 offers flexibility to suit different spaces, from understated dining rooms to expressive modern interiors. Its clean, uniform surface creates a refined look while preserving the distinctive shape that has made this chair a design classic.
The Series 7 seat is made from nine layers of pressure-moulded veneer, shaped to achieve its characteristic curves while providing strength, flexibility and durability. Unlike the coloured ash version, the lacquered finish conceals the wood grain, creating a smooth and consistent appearance. This makes it an excellent choice for interiors where a clear colour statement or a more minimal aesthetic is desired. The four-legged base is available in a selection of finishes, including chrome-plated and powder-coated steel options. Choose a bright chrome frame for a classic contrast, or a coloured metal base for a more coordinated, contemporary look.
The lightweight, stackable construction makes the Series 7 practical as well as visually distinctive. It can be used as an everyday dining chair, additional seating for entertaining or a refined choice for a home office or meeting room. Whether you prefer a subtle neutral colour or a bolder accent, the variety of lacquered finishes makes it possible to coordinate the chair with your dining table, cabinetry and wider interior palette.

The legendary Arne Jacobsen trained as an architect in Copenhagen. His most famous buildings include Arhus Town Hall in Denmark, the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen and St Catherine's College in Oxford England. His experiments into plywood resulted in the Ant chair in 1952.
The work on the SAS Royal Hotel resulted in some of his most outstanding designs, including the Egg and Swan chairs, a stainless steel cutlery set now made by silver manufacturer Georg Jensen and a series of lamps, manufactured by &Tradition and Louis Poulsen. A perfectionist and a master of detail, Jacobsen worked right up to his death in 1971. In central London, his Royal Danish Embassy on Sloane Street was completed only in 1977. He was one of Denmark's most influential 20th-century architects & designers.
