Fritz Hansen Drop Chair - now available!

The Drop Chair from Fritz Hansen - originally designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1956-60 is now a commercial reality! Designed for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen only around 300 of the chairs were ever produced and it never entered commercial production for the public to buy. However, thanks to advances in material production, a bit of modern technology and an X-ray of one of the few surviving original chairs to examine the construction, the Drop Chair has been recreated with a polypropylene shell. In 6 complementary muted colours it comes with legs in the same colour as the shell or chrome. For those requiring a softer look the Drop Upholstered Chair comes in a huge variety of fabrics to suit any colour scheme. We're taking orders now for delivery in September. An icon comes to life!
