Fritz Hansen - Arne Jacobsen - Spisestue stol (6) - Flagermusstol (3107) - Metal, Krydsfiner

A unique set! 6 original Butterfly chairs, produced in the first editions in the 1950’s.
These "Butterfly chairs", type 3107, were designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 for Fritz Hansen.

The seat is made of bent plywood, a technique that was innovative at the time.

That production method allowed the Danish designer to create organic and charming lines and shapes, which is why the chair was nicknamed the ‘butterfly chair’.

All 6 chairs are equipped with the original metal covers at the bottom stamped with ‘FH Danmark’, as opposed to the plastic caps that were used after the 60s.

These 6 early edition chairs are still in the original black stained color. The paint is cracked or worn off in some places and one chair has a wobbly back as you can see in the photos. They are kept in the original paint to maintain the authenticity and patina look.

The lots are available for pickup from the Netherlands (delivery options can be discussed with the successful bidder)
