Arne Jacobsen Series 7 Chairs by Fritz Hansen. 1960s

Six model no. 3107 chairs, also called the series 7 (syveren chairs). Stacking dining chairs in black lacquered plywood. Moulded plywood connected to chromed bent tubular steel base with plastic cap feet. All the cap feet are original fritz hansen. This iconic chair was designed by arne jacobsen for fritz hansen in 1955. Marked underneath as can be seen in the photos with the early production plastic cap which is stamped: by fritz hansen, made in denmark. One chair has an original fritz hansen connecting mechanism that we decided to leave in place rather than attempt to remove. This original additional section helps us date them to 1967. The series 7 is one of the most commercially successful chair lines ever produced. Jacobsen's approach to the complex moulding of the continuous plywood seat and back was influenced by charles and ray eames earlier designs. In addition, the chairs are very comfortable. They have an early re-lacquered surface that was done very well. There are superficial signs of age and use - some minor rubbing and light scratching. The legs and chrome plating are in good condition with only light signs of rust beginning.
