The Series 7 Office Chair Unupholstered by Arne Jacobsen, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, is formed from a shell in pressure-molded plywood that defines its light and continuous structure. The surface is built from multiple layers of veneer, typically around nine, which are bent into a single flowing form that reflects Scandinavian design through controlled material shaping and clarity of expression.

The veneer construction allows natural wood variations to remain visible, giving the surface a subtle grain presence that reinforces Scandinavian design principles of material honesty and restraint. This layered plywood shell is paired with a steel base, creating a balanced contrast that reflects Danish design and Danish modern thinking through functional structure and refined material pairing.

Founded in Denmark in 1872, Fritz Hansen has a long history of collaborating with international designers to bring visionary concepts into everyday spaces. Its extensive archive, dating back to its very first chair, continues to inform how Danish design and Danish modern values shape Scandinavian design today.
