Once Fritz Hansen, always Fritz Hansen: As modern as ever

High-quality seating in nature-inspired forms area strong focus of Fritz Hansen - something achieved in recent years through its collaboration with designers such as Cecilie Manz and Jaime Hayon.

With their portfolio, Fritz Hansen is perfect for style-conscious urbanite and international companies with an interest in luxury goods. The list of designers who have collaborated with Fritz Hansen is long, the list design classics even longer. While through the acquisition of the Danish lighting manufacturer Lightyears and the Objects collection from 2016, which is represented by works such as the the Objects Pouf and the Caravaggio Leuchten by Cecilie Manz represent important stations in the Fritz Hansen story. A special milestone was reached in 2018, with the campaign "60 years perfect Form" celebrating of the 60th anniversary of the Egg and Swan Chairs as well as the Series 7.

Fritz Hansen and Arne Jacobsen

The Series 7 by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen remains one of the most successful chairs of all time

The icons

Among the many furniture designs that Fritz Hansen have launched since the company was founded in 1872, those of Arne Jacobsen have proved especially popular. Arne Jacobsen’s cooperation with the Danish designer Fritz Hansen started in 1934, but didn’t receive its defining moment until the release of Arne Jacobsen’s Ant Chair in 1952. With the follow-up Series 7 in 1955 Fritz Hansen and Arne Jacobsen finally entered the history of furniture design. Many of Jacobsen’s designs continue to define the portfolio of the Danish designer furniture manufacturer. Arne Jacobsen however worked not only as a designer, but also as an architect and a project in which these two professions perfectly combined is the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Developed in the late 1950s, Arne Jacobsen was responsible for both the construction but also the furnishings and furniture: popular design classics such as the Egg Chair, Swan Chair and 3300 series resulting. Furniture which was, somewhat inevitably, taken by Fritz Hansen into series production.

The Ant

With the Ant Chair Fritz Hansen wanted to build on the successes of the American modern chair designs and commissioned Arne Jacobsen to design a similar all-purpose moulded plywood chair. The furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen had experimented with bent plywood since 1872 and created with the Ant Chair the first three-dimensionally shaped plywood seat where the seat and the backrest are made of a single piece. To guarantee the objects stability the seat was given its distinctive shape, which ultimately became the name under which it is popularly known. Arne Jacobsen designed the chair for Fritz Hansen as a three-legged model; however, Fritz Hansen also insisted on a four-legged alternative, because such are more stable.

The Series 7

The Series 7 chair by Arne Jacobsen is one of the most commercially successful chairs in furniture history, and is the undisputed bestseller in the history of Fritz Hansen. The moulded veneer chair can technically be seen as a further development of the Ant, is lightweight, stackable and available in many different versions. The Series 7 is available as an armchair, swivel chair, bar stool and child's chair. The most famous of these Fritz Hansen chairs is also known as Arne Jacobsen 3107.

The Egg

Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg Chair for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, a project for which he planned numerous other furniture objects and lamps as well as the building itself. Formally based on the classic wing chair, The Egg chair by Arne Jacobsen with its almost sculptural appearance can in may ways be considered as defining a space within a space. Existing exclusively of curves the chair is composed of a plastic shell padded with polyurethane foam such that it produces an extravagant shape with minimal material usage. The Egg Chair is completed in its organic form by the matching ottoman and by the Swan Chair which Arne Jacobsen also by him for the SAS Royal Hotel Copenhagen.

The Drop

Together with The Egg and The Swan Arne Jacobsen also created The Drop for his 1958 work of art, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen. At that time only produced in small numbers for the hotel, the chair with the subtle yet strong character was first produced as a modern plastic version by Fritz Hansen in 2014.

The Piet Hein Table

Also known as the super-elliptical table, Arne Jacobsen designed the Piet Hein Table together with the mathematician and philosopher Piet Hein, who coined the term superellipse, and designer Bruno Mathsson. Its shape oscillates between ellipse and rectangle.

The Grand Prix

Arne Jacobsen's Grand Prix stands in a tradition with his other chair designs, all of which are made of laminated and moulded sliced veneer. The chair, which was launched in 1957, won the highest award at the Milan Triennale in the same year: the Grand Prix.

The Oxford

Designed in 1963 for the faculty of the St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, the Arne Jacobsen Oxford chair with its high back represents the prestige of a conventionally educated English middle class, yet can also hold its own against contemporary furniture design objects. And so thankful for the furniture series Arne Jacobsen designed for the college, he even received an honorary doctorate from Oxford.

The Swan

The curved shape of The Swan represents a key component of Arne Jacobsen’s interior design concept for the lobby and lounge area of the Royal Hotel Copenhagen. As with The Egg Chair Jacobsen created for the hotel, The Swan is an object without straight lines.

Fritz Hansen and Kaiser Idell

Kaiser Idell table lamp and Kaiser Idell scissor lamp by Christian Dell

The Bauhaus lamps by Christian Dell have been part of the Fritz Hansen range for several years. After the design classics had been produced in 1936 by the brothers Kaiser & Co. in Neheim-Hüsten in the German Sauerland, production was stopped in the 80s and it was not until 2007 that the production of the licensed Kaiser lamps resumed - in Vejle, Denmark. The road to the Danish manufacturer Fritz Hansen was then short. Today, the Kaiser Idell collection comprises numerous models - including table lamps, floor lamps as well as a pendant lamp, all of which come from the designer Christian Dell. The trained silversmith studied at the Sächsische Kunstgewerbeschule Weimar, Germany under Henry van de Velde and later worked as a master in the metal workshop at the Bauhaus Weimar.

In addition to the Kaiser Idell lamps, the Fritz Hansen lighting portfolio also includes various contemporary designs by well-known designers such as Cecilie Manz, Gam Fratesi or Michael Geertsen. Employing a variety of high-quality materials, such as porcelain, plastic, or metal, which are processed by highly qualified Fritz Hansen professionals. The respective material properties underscore the character of the designer lamps, which are defined by functionality and elegance, each having its own characteristic form and unmistakable detail solutions. For example, the Dogu porcelain light from 2018 features a semi-transparent bone china lampshade connected to a gold or silver-coloured aluminium suspension, while the Orient pendant, named after its drop-like form, features an aluminium construction with a solid wood suspension. Fritz Hansen lamps thus meet the highest demands on functionality in differing room situations, and each tell their very own story and always express new, innovative and original design solutions.

With the reissue of established design classics such as those of Arne Jacobsen or Christian Dell, the aims of Fritz Hansen is far from fulfilled. The Danish company is constantly developing new products; new designs which blend harmoniously into the existing portfolio and can be seen as the natural evolution of popular classics such as the Egg Chair. Particularly with the collaboration with Jaime Hayon, Fritz Hansen has recently set a new accent.

Fritz Hansen Accessories

Founded in 1872, the Danish furniture company Fritz Hansen has established a name for itself above all with seating furniture by the legendary designer Arne Jacobsen. In addition, the Fritz Hansen portfolio also includes a wide range of design genres and relies equally on classic and current design. For all among the Fritz Hansen accessories you will find contemporary designs by renowned designers which perfectly complement the portfolio and set very individual accents in any living area. For example, designs such as the Objects Tray by Wednesday Architecture or Jaime Hayon's Objects Vase radiate minimalist calm, while objects such as the Objects Tray Table by Willumsen & Engelholm with its sophisticated details guarantee distinctive accents
