The story of Series 7

Series 7 dining chair (or side chair series as it is sometimes called) has been designed by Arne Jacobsen – a famous Danish Designer in 1955. Originally manufactured by Fritz Hansen & Son, it quickly became their bestselling design that was produced using what was at the time revolutionary method of pressure moulded the natural wood veneer in multiple directions at the same time. After the shape was done, different types of upholstery, coloured ash and finishes were applied. As always, Jacobsen kept functionality in mind at all times so he made sure that the final product will be not only elegant, but also comfortable due to its ergonomic curves and also stackable and lightweight. Its immense initial success was considered by many to be the very beginning of the global success of Scandinavian and more specifically Danish mid century design.

Series 7 designed by Arne Jacobsen for sale?

As mentioned, due to immense popularity of Arne Jacobsen Series 7 chair in all of its models and variants, a surge of replicas and knock-offs flooded the modern market. This is so in part because the original Series 7 price is rather high, even when we don’t count in the shipping costs from Denmark. Today, you can easily find Series 7 knock offs on sites such as eBay and Amazon, but also in numerous stores near you.

With its almost minimalist silhouette and typical Danish appeal, Series 7 – designed by Arne Jacobsen with collaboration of Fritz Hansen, is a perfect addition for all dining rooms that take inspiration from the mid century modern style, whether it is predominantly Scandinavian, American or maybe with a modern twist. Upholstered Series 7 can be even more versatile as the vivid colors, suitable seat height, and cozy appeal can also make it a perfect choice for those homes that are decorated in more traditional manner, or even maybe boho chic – if you feel like pulling this combination off.

Last but not least, as Arne Jacobsen Series 7 chair in whatever color will be stylish but unimposing, this model can be a very clever choice for eclectic style, especially so if you already have some statement pieces which will take the center stage, but which need some stylish furnishing around them to make them really pop-out.

White and black Series 7 chair Arne Jacobsen is especially popular for more stylish and elegant dining rooms (although red variants can also be used as accent pieces here), while pressure moulded natural wood coloured ash is usually utilized in less formal and more relaxed ambience. But, you can also make the best out of both – why not combine wooden un-upholstered Series 7 with some stylish cushions or chair Arne Jacobsen covers for a bit of mixing and matching? Thanks to versatility of this classic, the possibilities are endless.

This chair’s popularity

Even if you weren’t familiar with the name or the history of this classic, you certainly saw Series 7 before – which isn’t surprising since just in 1955 when Jacobsen completed this design with collaboration of Fritz Hansen, more than 5 million of them were sold and the demand just kept increasing – for all Series 7 coloured ash and upholstery types. This inspired a number of variations on the basic form of the chair, including complex under-constructions including castors and swivel bases.

Series 7 barstool variant is also available, albeit it never reached the popularity of the original Series 7 chair Arne Jacobsen. However, variant that certainly got some attention was Series 7 with armrests which might be less suitable for dining room (unless Scandi dining Series 7 chair with armrests are what you were looking for), but which add a whole new layer of versatility to this iconic Danish classic. Overall, Series 7 manages to retain its popularity throughout the years and it is still significantly more sought-after than the most extravagant mid century designs such as retro-futuristic Tulip chair for example.
