Arne Jacobsen first created the sleek, curvaceous Lily™ chair for Danmarks Nationalbank. Its characteristic wide shoulders and slim waist are striking examples of Jacobsen exploring and challenging the possibilities of veneer to create perfect curves and offer ultimate comfort. The Lily 3108 was originally called the ‘Series 8’ and is widely considered Arne Jacobsen’s most elaborate, stackable chair design.

About Designer
Arne Jacobsen	Arne Jacobsen was born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, was a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, was trained as a bank clerk and often painted floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in Claessensgade, Copenhagen in a typical Victorian style home. Maybe that is why Arne, as a child, painted the coloured wallpaper in his room white, as a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste.
