Series 7 chair

The original Fritz Hansen Series 7™ chair by Arne Jacobsen

The Series 7™ chair is one of the most recognisable designs in modern furniture history. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, its sculptural silhouette has remained as relevant today as it was nearly seventy years ago.

Elegant, lightweight and remarkably versatile, the Series 7™ has found its way into homes, restaurants, offices and public spaces around the world. Its distinctive one-piece shell is formed from nine layers of pressure-moulded veneer, creating a chair that is strong, flexible and beautifully slender.

Available in a wide range of finishes, with or without arms and in upholstered, office and bar versions, the Series 7™ is a design that can be adapted to suit the way you live.

At Cimmermann, we only sell the authentic Series 7™ chair produced by Fritz Hansen.

Iconic. Versatile. Timeless.

Designed by Arne Jacobsen and first introduced in 1955, the Series 7™ has become one of the most successful and enduring chairs in the history of modern furniture.

Its appeal lies in its simplicity. A beautifully curved shell, a slender steel base and little else. Yet behind that apparently simple design is a carefully considered process that gives the chair its strength, flexibility and distinctive form.

The original Series 7™ is produced by Fritz Hansen, the Danish manufacturer responsible for bringing Arne Jacobsen's design to life.

Over the years, the collection has evolved to include a wide choice of finishes and versions, allowing the same iconic design to work in many different settings. Whether you're looking for dining chairs, an upholstered chair, a home office chair or a bar stool, there is a Series 7™ designed for you.

about fritz hansen

A design that has stood the test of time

There are not many chairs that have remained in continuous production for decades while still feeling completely at home in contemporary interiors.

The Series 7™ is one of them.

Its soft, sculptural shape has a quiet simplicity that allows it to sit comfortably alongside many different styles of furniture. Use a set around a dining table, place one at a desk or mix different finishes together to create a more individual look.

It is this versatility, alongside the quality of its construction, that has helped make the Series 7™ one of the most popular designs in Fritz Hansen's collection.

For us, it is a good example of what we love about great design. Furniture that doesn't follow a passing trend, but becomes part of everyday life and continues to be enjoyed for years to come.
