Fritz Hansen Fritz Hansen Grand Prix Side Chair 4130

Description

Having already produced a series of designs for Fritz Hansen that are similar in construction, Jacobsen had perfected the technique of pressure moulding layers of sliced veneer, a beech wood core covered by lacquered ash, to create this robust and versatile piece.The linear outline of the Grand Prix reflects motifs common within mid-century Atomic style furniture, with two rectangular curves set at an angle atop a thin bodied backrest. Moulded to form to the natural contours of the user, the winged curvature of the seat not only provides an elegant swooping line, but also ample comfort and support.Each of the wonderfully bowed legs are given rounded indentation along both sides with discreet rubber guards in place to prevent friction between the base the frame.Made from lacquered ash wood, this angular chair is available in a range or bright or muted tones that suit modern and vintage inspired interiors.
