The chair has been recreated following the original 1937
design. The distance from the seat to the floor has been increased
to reflect the growth in stature we have experienced since 1937.
The chair is hand crafted using solid rattan cane. The bindings
and the soft seat are hand-woven of lazio ( a strong and very
flexible natural flat fiber). When combined with a foam filled
upholstered seat cushion, the result is the ultimate in seating
comfort.
Arne Jacobsenīs chair was originally named Cane-chair No. A.J.
237 and was first displayed at the "Spring Exhibition" in the
Charlottenborg building in 1937. The Charlottenborg-chair is
represented in several works about Danish art and in books about
the many designs by Arne Jacobsen. The Charlottenborg-chair
was one of Arne Jacobsenīs preferred chairs in his private home
and, because of this fact, some of the original chairs survived
to become the basis for its recreation.
