Description

Manufacturer Fritz Hansen

Design Arne Jacobsen

 

The Grand Prix chair was invented by Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen and first presented at the Designers’ Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen, in 1957. Originally, its name was 3130 but later that year, the chair was displayed at the Triennale in Milan where it received the Grand Prix – the finest distinction of the exhibition. It is a perfect example of furniture design able to highlight a space solely by its display.
