*Price valid for the version with wooden legs - shell in coloured ashwood without any upholstery (cod. 4130).
The Grand Prix chair by Arne Jacobsen, produced by Fritz Hansen, owes its name to the victory of the main prize at the XI Milan Triennale in 1957. The seat, comfortable and practical, is characterized by a backrest that has narrower shapes in its part central and then open upwards into two large ears that act as support for the shoulders. The four legs, originally only in wood - unique in Jacobsen's production - are now also available in a metallic finish. Historic product of great success, the Grand Prix chair can be proposed in a great variety of interpretations: entirely in wood, with a warmer and more articulate feeling, with the seat covered in fabric, which makes it perhaps more suitable for common spaces and uses. contract, or even with a leather seat that enhances its elegance.

Designed by
Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was one of the immortal founding fathers of great post-war Danish design. His sober approach to modernism, typically punctuated, conditioned all the generations of designers that followed and laid the foundations for a style appreciated all over the world. He always considered himself first of all as an architect: his products were in fact created for a specific project, and only later destined for mass production. His most famous project was the creation of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, of which he took care not only of the architecture, but also of every detail of the interior design, personally designing the furnishings, lamps and even cutlery. It was on this occasion that products such as the Egg armchair were created, perhaps the most famous and iconic seat of all time, still made today by Fritz Hansen, or the AJ lamp, later a great bestseller for the Louis Poulsen company. He also experimented with the design of everyday objects, for brands such as Georg Jensen and Stelton, but also and above all of chairs. The models made with Fritz Hansen revolutionized the design of the modern chair; according to his former collaborator Knud Holscher Jacobsen "he designed the chairs as Matisse painted the pictures - freely and with pleasure".Read more
