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 firm, and perhaps also in the history of furniture. The molded 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 maximum to achieve the perfection of an iconic form.
An architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen studied for four years at the Copenhagen School of Construction, then entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Among his most outstanding architectural works are St. Catherine's College in Oxford, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the National Bank of Denmark in the same city, 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 called "Chair number 7", of which more than five million copies were sold, starring alongside Christine Keeler in Lewis Morley's iconic portrait.
