Bring iconic Danish design into your workspace with the Fritz Hansen Series 7 3217 Office Chair.
Combining the unmistakable silhouette of the Series 7 with luxurious leather upholstery, supportive armrests and a practical swivel base, this designer office chair offers a sophisticated balance of comfort, functionality and enduring style.
Designed by Arne Jacobsen, the original Series 7 chair was introduced in 1955 and became one of the most recognisable designs in modern furniture. Its distinctive curved shell is formed from pressure-moulded veneer, creating a beautifully sculpted profile that feels light and elegant while remaining durable. The 3217 office version adapts this celebrated design for the demands of contemporary working, with a height-adjustable seat, swivel mechanism and five castors for ease of movement.
Upholstered in Fritz Hansen Essential Leather, the chair takes on a more refined, executive character. This pigmented leather has a fine-grain appearance and a smooth, consistent finish. Its protective surface treatment makes it particularly practical for everyday use, offering stain resistance and good colourfastness while retaining the sophisticated appearance of genuine leather. The addition of armrests provides extra support during desk work, while the adjustable height allows the seating position to be tailored to your desk and working preferences. The five-castor base makes it easy to move around your workspace, whether you are working from home or furnishing a professional office.
Choose from the available leather colours and base finishes to complement your interior. A polished chrome base introduces a bright, classic contrast, while a black powder-coated finish creates a more understated contemporary look. The combination of supple leather, sculptural veneer and carefully finished metalwork makes this chair an elegant addition to both modern and traditional workspaces. Ideal for executive offices, home studies and design-conscious workplaces, the Fritz Hansen Series 7 3217 brings together a celebrated design heritage and practical features for everyday productivity. Its timeless appearance allows it to sit comfortably alongside contemporary desks, natural wood furniture and other Scandinavian design classics.

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.
