The Oxford chair

OXFORD

The Oxford chair by Arne Jacobsen was reshaped in 2003 according to the curves and dimensions of Arne Jacobsen’s original design from 1965. The result is a slimmer, beautiful and comfortable chair. Suitable as a conference chair, desk chair, guest chair and lounge chair.


OXFORD

ARNE JACOBSEN 1902 - 1971 Our cooperation with Arne Jacobsen dates back to 1934, but it was in 1952 the break-through came with the Ant chair. It was succeeded by the 3107 series in 1955. This propelled his and Fritz Hansen’s names into furniture history. The Oxford chair was originally designed for St. Catherine’s College in 1963. Over the years, the chair grew thicker and its appearance changed. 40 years after the introduction, the Oxford chair was revitalized and today looks more like the original. A more sculptural appearance has been obtained. The chair is available in tall or low back and lounge model, each with different options, e.g. castors and arms, leather or fabric upholstery. In 2008 it is also available with medium high back. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. While the significance of Arne Jacobsen’s buildings was less appreciated, his furniture and other design work have become national and international heritage.
