ARNE JACOBSEN MODEL 3201 FULLY UPHOLSTERED

The four-legged stackable chair represents the culmination of the lamination technique. The visionary Arne Jacobsen exploited the possibilities of lamination to perfection resulting in the iconic shape of the chair. Series 7™ represents the chair in the Fritz Hansen collection with the widest range of applications. Series 7™ comes in different veneers and finishes. All chairs are made of pressure moulded sliced veneer. Front upholstery or full upholstery is available in a wide range of fabrics and leather types.

MEASUREMENTS: 20″ wide x 20.5″ deep x 31.70″ tall
Seat Height: 18.1″ tall

Pairing the Model 3201 With Your Table and Vintage Furniture

A new Arne Jacobsen chair can look wrong next to vintage European furniture when the proportions are off, so start with the table. Leave 10 to 12 inches between the seat and tabletop, a gap this chair's 18.1-inch seat gives you on a standard 29- to 30-inch table. Then allow 24 inches of edge per person, so a 72-inch table takes three chairs per side.

With the proportions settled, choose an upholstery shade that repeats something already in the room, such as a teak sideboard or a wool rug, and the chair's curved silhouette sits comfortably beside Danish originals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell a genuine Series 7 chair from a replica?

Flip the chair over. A genuine Arne Jacobsen chair has a maker's mark on the underside of the seat, and its shell is pressure-molded veneer with clean, even layers at the edge. Replicas often skip the mark or use plastic or plain plywood. Ask any seller for underside photos before you buy.

Is the Model 3201 comfortable for long dinners?

Yes. The upholstery adds padding over the molded shell, and the shell's gentle curve still supports your back, so dinner can run long.

Will the Model 3201 work at a kitchen island?

Not at counter height. Islands stand about 36 inches tall and need a 24- to 26-inch seat, while this chair's 18.1-inch seat suits a dining table. We carry island stools and table benches in our New Production collection.

Can I pair the Model 3201 with other Series 7 chairs at one table?

Yes. Series 7 chairs share the same curved shape, so the silhouette holds when upholstery or finish changes. Many people upholster the end chairs and leave the sides in bare veneer.

Can I use the Model 3201 outdoors?

No. The upholstery and veneer shell are made for indoor rooms. Moisture warps veneer, and strong sun fades fabric and dries out leather. Keep it indoors.
