• Manufactured By - Fritz Hansen
• More Info - This chair was originally designed for the lobby of the Royal SAS Hotel in Copenhagen. It was technologically innovative for the time, as there were no straight lines. The swivel base consists of a satin-polished, welded steel tube and a 4-star base in injection moulded aluminium. It has been in constant production since it was first designed as it is a very popular and timeless piece. It's soft curves and organic form make it very appealing and although looking great on it's own it looks best in groups. It was originally designed as a side chair but a higher version for use at tables is now available. . It is also available upholstered in leather, vinyl or fabric. There is also a sofa version of this chair.
