Arne Jacobsen
“Grand Prix” (Model 4130), c.1960

Wood and dark brown leather.

Fritz Hansen introduced Arne Jacobsen’s Grand Prix™ design in 1957 at the Designers’ Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen. Later that year, the chair was displayed at the Triennale in Milan, where it won the Grand Prix: the finest distinction of the exhibition and the reason behind the chair’s name.
