Description: | This chair was originally owned by a young advertising executive who lived in a small townhouse in Kilburn in the 1990s. The chair is one of a set of six, all of different colours, which were used as dining chairs with a large white table in his open-plan living space. The room was furnished with other twentieth-century design classics such as the Rover chair designed by Ron Arad and a white plastic sofa by the Italian firm Archizoom. This is a ?Series 7? chair which was originally designed in 1955 by the well-known Danish designer Arne Jacobsen and was made from teak-faced plywood. The brightly coloured finishes are a later innovation. The ?Series 7? is one of the most successful designs of the twentieth century with more than 5 million having been manufactured. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Geffrye Museum | Rights holder: | Geffrye Museum | Subjects: | Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | 1991 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | Fritz Hansen Ltd | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
