Information

This rare office chair, model 3117, designed by Arne Jacobsen and produced by Fritz Hansen in Denmark in 1967, represents a sophisticated evolution of Jacobsen’s iconic Series 7 chair. Designed specifically for office use, this model integrates sculptural elegance with practical functionality.

The seat and backrest are formed from molded plywood and upholstered in the original black leather, which has aged gracefully to develop a rich patina that adds depth and character. The armrests are finished with solid rosewood, providing a warm contrast to the sleek chromed steel frame and adding a tactile, natural element to the design.

The chair’s base consists of five slender steel legs equipped with casters, delivering both stability and smooth mobility. Its height is adjustable, allowing customization between 78 cm and 91 cm in overall height, with a seat height range from 42 cm to 55 cm. This flexibility enhances comfort and usability in professional environments.

Marked with the Danish Furnituremakers’ Control label, the chair exemplifies the principles of Scandinavian Modern design, combining minimalist aesthetics, ergonomic support, and high-quality craftsmanship. It remains a highly collectible piece among enthusiasts of mid-century design.

Dimensions are 68.5 cm wide (27 inches), 48 cm deep (18.9 inches), height adjustable from 78 cm to 91 cm (30.7 to 35.8 inches), with a seat height adjustable from 42 cm to 55 cm (16.5 to 21.7 inches).
