Arne Jacobsen's classic Myran chair was designed for Fritz Hansen in 1952 and was created especially for the dining room of the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. The 3101 Myran is the model with four legs, while the 3100 has three legs. The seat and backrest are made using Jacobsen's innovative technology where nine layers of veneer and two layers of Indian cotton are pressed over steam into their correct shape. This provides a comfortable seat and flexible chair back. The Myran is available in a range of different woods and colours, with a stained, clear lacquered or fully lacquered finish. A stained surface allows the natural structure and grain of the wood to remain visible, making each chair unique. With a fully lacquered surface, each chair is identical. The Myran has neat legs and is stackable. If you wish to order a combination of seat and leg colours that we do not offer here, please contact our customer service who will assist you.
The Myran has made a big mark on Danish design history and has also laid the foundation for the popular Sjuan and Gran Prix chairs. But it was close to the Myran not even being produced. When the sketches for the chair were presented, they were met with skepticism, but Jacobsen was so confident in his design that he promised Fritz Hansen that he would buy the chairs himself if no one else did. Fortunately, Jacobsen was right. The Myran was a success and is still a beloved chair today, launched in a number of different variants.
