The Fritz Hansen Series 7 Leather Dining Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, brings together one of the most recognisable silhouettes in Danish furniture design with the refined comfort and character of leather upholstery.
Elegant, lightweight and versatile, this iconic designer chair is an enduring choice for contemporary dining rooms, sophisticated kitchens and considered office interiors.
The Series 7 is distinguished by its gently curved, pressure-moulded veneer shell, slender chrome-plated steel legs and beautifully upholstered seat. The addition of leather introduces a softer, more luxurious finish while preserving the clean lines and sculptural proportions that have made the design a modern classic. Available with a choice of Fritz Hansen leather upholstery, including Essential Black and Walnut Grace, the Series 7 offers different expressions of the same timeless design, from understated contemporary elegance to the richness of naturally marked leather.
First introduced in 1955, the Series 7 is one of Arne Jacobsen's most celebrated furniture designs. Its distinctive curved form reflects the Danish architect's approach to combining functional simplicity with carefully considered proportions. The chair's slim profile and elegant steel legs give it a light, uncluttered appearance, while the curved seat shell creates its instantly recognisable silhouette. With its balance of sculptural design and everyday practicality, the Series 7 works beautifully around a dining table, in a home office or within a design-led commercial interior. Beneath the upholstery, the Series 7 retains its characteristic pressure-moulded veneer construction.
The shell is formed from nine layers of veneer, creating a strong, flexible and durable structure without compromising the chair's slender appearance. Four chrome-plated steel legs complement the curved seat with a bright, polished finish. The lightweight, stackable design also makes the Series 7 practical for flexible dining spaces and professional environments. The combination of moulded veneer, leather upholstery and chrome-plated steel gives this version a more tailored appearance while retaining the distinctive character of Arne Jacobsen's original design.
The Fritz Hansen Series 7 Leather Dining Chair is designed to sit comfortably within a variety of interiors. Around a dining table, it adds a refined finishing touch; in a home office or meeting room, it introduces an iconic piece of Scandinavian design. Choose Essential Black for a clean, contemporary aesthetic, or Walnut Grace for a warmer, more tactile look. Both finishes complement the chair's elegant proportions and enduring design heritage. Whether you are furnishing a single room or specifying seating for a larger project, the Series 7 combines recognisable design, quality materials and everyday versatility.

More about the Leathers -
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.
Grace Leather - An exquisite, luxurious aniline leather. The leather has a natural nude surface, with a light wax treatment, where all natural markings are visible. This emphasizes the unique character of the leather and adds a rustic charm to the furniture. Grace and other aniline leathers are more susceptible to dirt and grime, compared with pigmented leather. The leather will change with time through use and exposure to light and quickly gains a beautiful patina.

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.
