Series 7™ (3117) swivel chair fully upholstered
Series 7™ Fully Upholstered in Extreme Leather
The Series 7™ Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, is one of the most iconic designs in the history of Fritz Hansen – and in modern furniture design worldwide. Originally developed as an evolution of Jacobsen’s Ant™ Chair, the Series 7™ is crafted from pressure moulded veneer, giving it strength, flexibility, and an unmistakably slender silhouette. Now available fully upholstered in Extreme aniline leather, the chair combines sculptural elegance with tactile richness. Each Extreme hide tells a unique story, with natural beauty marks such as insect bites, scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and tonal variations formed by the animal’s life and bone structure, making every chair a one-of-a-kind design piece.
