Designed in 1959 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Pot armchair from the design pen of Arne Jacobsen is a true classic - in the new and revised version, the lounge chair is perfect for modern environments. Nevertheless, the shapely chair with better comfort has not lost anything of its distinctive shape.

Fritz Hansen - Visionary Design since 1872

Fritz Hansen, that is an exclusive design brand, which is characterised by timeless collections and world-famous classic and contemporary furniture, lamps and accessories. The company was founded in Denmark in 1872. In the 1950s, the famous designer Arne Jacobsen is responsible for the design at Fritz Hansen. In 1979, the until then family-run company becomes part of the Skandinavisk Holding. At the same time, Verner Panton is in the centre of attention as a leading avant-garde figure and shapes the design of the manufacturer immensely. And so Fritz Hansen is constantly developing and yet always keeps the long history and tradition in mind by continuing to focus on the cooperation with international and visionary designers.
