Series 7 Chair
Arne Jacobsen, Fritz Hansen
Arne Jacobsen designed the Series 7 in 1955, and it remains the most popular design in Fritz Hansen's collection. The shell is nine layers of pressure-moulded veneer, shaped for strength and flexibility despite its slender form; slim steel-tube legs extend just past the seat edge so the chairs stack and sit in rows.

Why Estate & Design selected it
The Series 7 is the dining chair for the long table. Light, stackable and comfortable, it lets a dining room seat twelve without visual weight, and seventy years of production mean it will never look dated. Few designs have earned their ubiquity so honestly.
