Information

The model 3117 office chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen and produced by Fritz Hansen in Denmark in 1968, represents a refined evolution of Jacobsen’s iconic Series 7 chair. This version adapts the celebrated design into an office setting by incorporating a four-star steel base with casters, enhancing mobility and functionality.

The seat and backrest are crafted from molded plywood and fully upholstered in the original cognac-colored leather, which has developed a rich, warm patina over time, underscoring the chair’s vintage character. The ergonomic silhouette features gentle curves that provide both visual elegance and comfortable support, reflecting Jacobsen’s mastery of combining form with function.

The chair’s height is adjustable via a steel mechanism, allowing smooth transitions between seating levels for personalized comfort. The four-legged steel base includes slender, angled supports that echo Jacobsen’s characteristic design language. The original castors are intact and exhibit wear consistent with the chair’s age. The Fritz Hansen manufacturer’s mark is visible on the underside, confirming its authenticity and provenance.

Dimensions are 50.5 cm in width (19.9 inches), 49 cm in depth (19.3 inches), with height adjustable from 78 cm to 91 cm (30.7 to 35.8 inches), and seat height adjustable from 42 cm to 55 cm (16.5 to 21.7 inches).
