Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen
A classic and everlasting design by Arne Jacobsen. The 3300 series consists of the 1-seater easy chair as well as the 2-seater and 3-seater sofas. Each piece in this series is meticulously constructed using a wooden frame covered in cold-cured foam and upholstered in either fabric or leather, resting on a chromed steel base. An elegant series for waiting/lounge areas and private homes.
Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. The Ant and Series 7 chairs, produced in 1952, propelled both Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen's names into furniture history. At the end of the 50's Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which introduced the Egg, the Swan, the Swan sofa and Series 3300 to the design world. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. His furniture and other design work have become a national and international heritage.
