The Fritz Hansen Series 7 Fully Upholstered Leather Office Chair with Arms combines the iconic design of Arne Jacobsen with a more supportive, executive-style seating experience.
First designed in 1955, the Series 7 is one of the most recognisable chairs in Danish design history. This office version pairs its distinctive curved silhouette with luxurious leather upholstery, integrated armrests and a height-adjustable swivel base.
Designed for home offices, executive workspaces and refined professional interiors, the chair brings together sculptural design, practical functionality and premium materials. The Series 7 is celebrated for its elegant proportions and distinctive moulded seat shell. In this office configuration, integrated armrests extend the design's familiar curves, creating a more enveloping appearance while maintaining the chair's clean, architectural lines. Full leather upholstery gives the seat and arms a cohesive, tailored finish. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of Arne Jacobsen's original design, suited to workspaces where visual quality matters as much as everyday practicality.
The Series 7 3217 office armchair features a height-adjustable seat and a five-castor swivel base, allowing you to move around your desk and adjust your seating position throughout the working day. Its integrated arms make it particularly well suited to executive desks, private offices and home workspaces where a more substantial chair is desired. The polished chrome base complements the leather upholstery with a refined metallic finish.
Shell: The shell of the Series 7™ chair is made of pressure moulded veneer and plywood.
Upholstery: The shell and armrests are padded with polyurethane (PUR) foam. A water-soluble glue is used for bonding of upholstery to the foam and foam to the shell. Covered in Leather
Essential Leather - A light sanded leather with a fine grain print which gives a smooth appearance to the upholstery. It is a pigmented leather which has been treated with a heavy surface finish - this makes the leather extremely durable. Essential is also very user-friendly as it is stain resistant. The leather has a high degree of light-fastness.
Natural Leather - Natural is an exceptionally fine full-grain aniline leather, produced from carefully selected premium hides, with fewer than 1% of hides worldwide meeting the requirements for this quality. Often referred to as 'naked' leather, it preserves the hide's original surface, showcasing its distinctive markings and natural variations. Its un-coated finish provides a wonderfully soft feel, excellent breathability and outstanding comfort. Over time, the open surface gradually develops a deeper, richer colour and an individual patina. The rate of this transformation depends on factors such as light exposure, surroundings and everyday use, allowing each piece to age in its own unique way.
Grace Leather - Grace is a premium leather from the finest quality hide. It is the ultimate in classic elegance. Displaying characterful, unique markings, it has a soft handle and an exclusive look. Its natural surface structure varies in colour and acquires a lighter patina over time depending on the light exposure, conditions and usage. Breathable and comfortable, this full grain aniline leather adds a timeless sense of luxury to furniture designs.
Base: Chromed steel swivel base with five castors for hard or soft floor.
Height (adjustable): 78cm – 90cm x Width: 61cm x Depth: 52cm. Seat Height (adjustable): 44cm – 56cm

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.
