The Seven Chair is the best-selling chair in the world
In 1955, the Series 7 chair was created by Danish designer Arne Jacobsen and released by the long-established Danish manufacturer Fritz Hansen.
More than 7 million chairs have been sold worldwide, making it the best-selling chair in the world.
We will introduce the charm of the Seven Chair, which has come to be loved all over the world, transcending regions and cultures.
Patience and ambition to continue making improvements
The Seven Chair was originally created to improve the "Ant Chair" that was released in 1952.
After the birth of the Ant Chair, they teamed up with Fritz Hansen, the only company that had the advanced technology to bend wood into three dimensions, and brought to life the three-dimensional structure technology that makes the back and seat one piece using nine layers of plywood.
And so the Seven Chair was born.
The mysterious origin of the name
The Seven Chair is, in a sense, a nickname; the real name (manufacturing name) of this chair when it was announced was "FH3107."
So why is it called the "Seven Chair"?
There seem to be various theories.
・The backrest looks like the number 7 when viewed from the front
- In fact, there was a manufacturing process where seven sheets of plywood were sandwiched between two finishing boards, not nine.
・The last number of his real name (model name) was "310"7"
Because this chair is loved all over the world, there are many rumors flying around.
The symbolism of the popular person is apparent from the name.
I was able to achieve this because I wasn't alone.
Looking at the story of the Seven Chair's creation, we already know that it was created by an extraordinary genius.
However, this was possible thanks to the collaboration with Fritz Hansen to develop technology that Arne Jacobsen alone could not have created.
By leaving each to his own field of expertise and working together to realize the same dream, the result was a revolution in furniture around the world.
I want to sit here and feel warm inside at the trust they place in each other.
