7 broader, almost international significance. This means that designers of different nationalities, but with the same attitudes to design, are creating furniture in the name of Fritz Hansen. The Republic of Fritz Hansen is established to celebrate this.

The design philosophy dictates that all design in the Republic of Fritz Hansen must be relevant in time, pure, original and...

Der dreibeinige, formgespannte Stapelstuhl wird auf Bestellung für die Kantine von Novo Nordisk entworfen.

19 Ant™, lacquer PK 71™, Acrylic Rug, Dune Initially, Arne Jacobsen designed the Ant™ for the canteen at Novo Nordic, an international Danish healthcare company. Today, the Ant is one of the prominent icons of the collection.

22 The Series 7™ designed by Arne Jacobsen is by far the most sold chair Series 7™, natural oak in the history of Fritz Hansen and perhaps also in furniture history. The pressure moulded veneer chair is a further development of the classic Ant™ chair. The four-legged stackable chair can be seen as the culmination of the use of the lamination technique.
