An iconic model 3217 office chair designed by arne jacobsen for fritz hansen during the 1950s. This early first edition combines jacobsen’s sculptural approach to seating with the functional clarity of mid-century danish modernism.
the organically shaped shell is defined by its fluid and highly recognizable silhouette, with softly winged contours that provide both visual elegance and ergonomic support. Executed in black leatherette, the seat gains a refined and almost monolithic appearance, balanced by the lightness of the slender metal swivel base on castors.
the subtle contrast between the curved upholstered shell and the precise industrial base reflects jacobsen’s ability to merge comfort, engineering, and architectural restraint into a single cohesive design. The armrests further enhance the chair’s sculptural rhythm while reinforcing its practical office functionality.
originally developed as part of jacobsen’s celebrated series 7 collection, the model 3217 remains one of the most recognizable examples of scandinavian modern design from the post-war period.
