3117 Series 7 Office Chair

Fritz Hansen's best-selling Sjuan, or Series 7, was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 and comes here as a desk chair. 3117 Sjuan follows the same design as the original, 3107, but the legs have been replaced by a chrome-plated height-adjustable base on wheels.

Sjuan is based on the same innovative manufacturing process as Jacobsen's classic Myran chair. The seat and backrest are created in one piece, consisting of nine layers of veneer layered with two layers of Indian cotton and pressed into its correct shape over steam. This has given Sjuan its thin and elegant shell that seemingly consists of a whole piece of wood, the backrest can also be folded down, which contributes to the high comfort. The chair is available in a range of different types of wood and colors, with a colored, clear lacquered or fully lacquered finish. A colored 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 different colors and types of wood can be combined with advantage.

The Sjuan has become Fritz Hansen's best-selling chair of all time and has been launched in a number of different designs. Nordiska Galleriet was the first retailer of the Sjuan in Sweden and the chair is still our best-selling piece of furniture today. Its popularity speaks volumes about the chair's iconic status. The Sjuan combines form, function and modern design history, making it both a classic and a great favorite with us.
