Arne Jacobsen, 1957
The Grand Prix Chair was designed by the architect and designer Arne Jacobsen in 1957, and presented that same year at the Designers’ Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen.
Originally called the 3130 model, it was renamed after obtaining the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale in 1957. The Grand Prix Chair was then produced with wooden legs, which were subsequently replaced by the metal legs of the 3107 chair.
After being abandoned in favor of the metal leg version because it was too expensive to produce, the Grand Prix chair with wooden legs is once again available thanks to new and more efficient production methods.
Thanks to its splendid legs, the Grand Prix chair is reinvested in the most opulent living rooms. The attention to detail and the unique shape of its design make it a timeless classic, as relevant today as it was 50 years ago

Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen was born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, is a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, a bank clerk, paints floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in a typical Victorian style home. As a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste, Arne paints his room in white.
Background & school relations
He met the Lassen brothers at Nærum Boarding School: later, Flemming Lassen was to become his partner in a series of architectural projects. Arne Jacobsen is a restless pupil, always up to pranks, with a self-deprecating humour. Already as a child, he showed an extraordinary talent for drawing and depicting nature through scrupulous studies. He wants to be painter, but his father felt that architect was a more sensible choice.
The Pleasant and the necessary trips abroad
Jacobsen’s travelling begin already in his twenties, when he went to sea to New York. Then followed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer in Germany and a series of study and drawing excursions to Italy. Jacobsen produced some of his finest watercolours during this period, capturing atmospheres and shapes accurately and carefully. From the beginning of his career, Jacobsen turned his gaze abroad, without abandoning Danish traditions.
Arne Jacobsen behind the design
Jacobsen production reflects his personality: an insistent, perfectionist modernist, to whom no detail was trivial, although the main picture was basically black/white and unambiguous. On the other hand, the nature-loving botanist and jovial family man: like him, his work is precise and warm, Danish and universal, modern and timeless.
