Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1957, this chair owes its name to the prestigious Grand Prix award of the Milan Triennale. In the same year it was exhibited at the Designers' Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen. Made of solid wood, it is available in different finishes, colors and upholsteries. The versions with a steel base offer the possibility of stacking.
Fritz Hansen
A historic Danish design company, over the course of its 140 years, thanks to collaboration with far-sighted designers and architects such as Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, Hans J. Wegner and Poul Kjærholm, Fritz Hansen has produced a rich portfolio of furnishings such as tables, chairs and armchairs, now considered design “classics” and identified as true timeless icons such as the Egg and Swan armchairs.
Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen, born in Copenhagen in 1902, was one of the most accomplished Danish designers and architects of the 20th century. Its elegant style embraces the functionality and clean lines of modernism with organic and sensual shapes. There were many pioneering buildings of Scandinavian modernism designed by Jacobsen, and many pieces of furniture, always designed with the aim of producing objects industrially. His most famous projects are certainly the chairs, which achieved real commercial success.
