Fritz Hansen Grand Prix Chair - Wood Base

Description

The Grand Prix chair by Fritz Hansen has a graphic edge. It was designed by Arne Jacobsen and lunched at the Designers’ Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design in 1957. Later that year, it was displayed at the Triennale in Milan and won the finest distinction ‘The Grand Prix’.
The Grand Prix chair comes in both a steel or wood base and can be customised through a series of natural wood venners and upholstery options.

Wooden legs are angled smoothly outwards in this design, mimicking the steel legs of Jacobsen’s other plywood chairs. This is one of the few Arne Jacobsen chair designs with wooden legs.
