Fritz Hansen's Most Iconic Chairs for the Modern Home
The Fritz Hansen collection is comprised of dozens of iconic designs from world-renowned designers who have unique and refreshing approaches to materials, tradition, and technique. Timeless, approachable design has been distilled into each piece Fritz Hansen makes available to the world, beautifying modern homes. And now, chairs from designers like Hans J. Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Jaime Hayon, and more are available through the HORNE catalogue. Here are some of Fritz Hansen's most iconic chairs for the modern home.
China Chair
Modeling the China Chair after both 17th and 18th Century Chinese design aesthetics and techniques, as well as the awe-inspiring nature of sculpture, designer Hans J. Wegner created a chair that enchants from all angles and in all rooms. Simultaneously palatial and arcadian, the China Chair exemplifies Wegner’s masterful grasp of everything that can be achieved with wood, making the material the focal point, while integrating clever, technical, handcrafted elements that endear the chair to modern audiences and maintain its timelessness. Crafted from ash or cherry wood, the China Chair is the perfect modern dining or lounge armchair with a leather-upholstered seat to add luxuriant comfort.
Drop Chair
Arne Jacobsen’s Drop Chair captures the imagination and a sense of whimsy with its teardrop shape that perfectly embraces the user. Cleverly set atop thin, powder-coated steel lets that give the composition its undeniable Mid-Century aesthetic, the Drop Chair’s combined seat and backrest stand tall, but not imposing, allowing the Drop Chair to slip easily into any dining room, living room, or office space.
Egg Lounge Chair
Danish through and through, Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Lounge Chair is a Mid-Century marvel that quickly solidified its place as an icon of modern design. The result of some experimentation, the Egg Lounge Chair’s charming, scooped shape is familiar yet refreshing, offering a place to curl up and enjoy the quieter hours of the day. Recline in the deep seat and relax against the wide backrest while resting your feet on the Egg Footstool. Introduce the Egg Lounge Chair to contemporary living rooms, offices, or commercial spaces for elevated and unforgettable seating compositions.
Fred Lounge Chair
Soft and refined, the Fred Lounge Chair is an honest, everyday lounge chair designed for comfort and embracing its place in the artistic series of furnishings from designer Jaime Hayon. Oak or walnut is assembled and sculpted by hand into wide and flat armrests, spindle legs, and a supportive framework that wraps around the back. With a touch of Scandinavian inspirations, the Fred Lounge Chair would easily fit into the modern home—whether that is in the living room, nursery, bedroom, or office.
Fri Lounge Chair
The Fri Lounge Chair epitomizes the easy, open, and welcoming atmosphere of the classic beloved easy chair. Deep cushions set into a curved frame that embraces the user are complemented by the distinct Mid-Century curvature, lines, and spoke-like legs. Available in three neutral upholstery options and an aluminum or oak base, the Fri Lounge Chair is luxury and familiarity distilled into a sophisticated and elegant modern lounge chair. Place the Fri Lounge Chair in living rooms alongside the Lune Sofa series, in the bedroom, child’s room, or in the office for a place to focus and brainstorm.
