Originally designed by Arne Jacobsen for professors at
St. Catherine’s College at the University of Oxford, England, Fritz Hansen’s
elegant Oxford™ chair has since been upgraded for a new generation of
workspaces to offer supreme sitting comfort and customisation to suit every
modern need. Engineered for workspaces that require elegant and functional design,
the medium back 3293W is set on a five-star base with castors for ease of
movement. With an adjustable seat height and tilt mechanism, it adjusts to
every working need. Available with armrests which tuck neatly under tabletops.
The minimalist design is cushioned for comfort and lumbar support for a more
natural sitting posture.

| 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. |
