Notes

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was one of Denmark's most significant architects and designers. His large and diverse body of work has left profound imprints on Danish and international design and architecture history.

The innovative production method of this chair was inspired by Charles and Ray Eames and made it possible to give the Series 7 chair an organic and charming play of lines, which earned it the nickname 'butterfly chair'.
