ARNE JACOBSEN (Denmark, 1902 - 1971) for FRITZ HANSEN. Set of six armchairs "Series 7". Model 3207, design 1955. Moulded plywood shell, chromed tubular steel frame. Re-upholstered in light cognac coloured Vacona leather on shell and armrests. Re-upholstered by a professional upholsterer. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen. Measurements: 76/44,5 cm (height). The 3207 chair is the evolution of the FH 3107 but with armrests. The model 3107, designed in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen and belonging to the Series 7, is by far the best-selling chair in the history of the Fritz Hansen company, and perhaps also in the history of furniture. The moulded seat is an evolution of the Ant Chair, an earlier design by the same creator, and its laminated structure represents the culmination of this construction technique. In fact, the visionary Jacobsen exploited the possibilities of laminate to the full to achieve the perfection of an iconic form. An architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen studied for four years at the Copenhagen School of Construction and then entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. His architectural highlights include St. Catherine's College in Oxford, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the National Bank of Denmark in Copenhagen, and the Royal Danish Embassy in London. As a designer, he has created furniture that has become classics, including the "Ant" chair (1951) and the "Swan" and "Egg" chairs designed for the SAS Hotel. He is also known for his 1955 model 3107 chair, also known as "Chair number 7", of which more than five million were sold, starring alongside Christine Keeler in Lewis Morley's iconic portrait. His other contribution to popular culture in the media is his designer cutlery, with spoons for both hands, which were chosen for the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" for their futuristic look. The key to the success of Jacobsen's work lies in its elegant and essential design, and it can now be found in collections such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others. The Danish firm Fritz Hansen, founded in 1872, manufactures original, unique, functional and innovative contemporary design furniture. It manufactures its products in its facilities in the north of Copenhagen, making each piece in close cooperation with internationally renowned designers and architects. Its collection includes the EggChair and Swan armchairs, the Series 7 chair, the Ant chair and the Oxford chair by designer Arne Jacobsen, as well as tables and armchairs designed by Danish designers PietHein and Poul Kjaerholm.

CHARLES EAMES (USA, 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (USA, 1912 - 1988) for VITRA Editor. A set of six Soft Pad armchairs, model EA-208. Designed in 1969. Full-leather edition with seat and backrest newly upholstered in cognac coloured aniline leather. Swivel base and armrests in chromed aluminium. Made at Vitra, with labels. Slight marks of use. Measurements: 83 x 58 x 60 cm. The Soft Pad office chair by Charles and Ray Eames was created in 1969 for Vitra. It has an argonomic shape that adapts easily to the contours of the body, and is in keeping with the elegant language developed by the Eames couple in the fifties and sixties. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple and artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He eventually became a teacher there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they remained for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House", now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fibreglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.
