Ant Chair

Seven Chair

Arne Jacobsen绝对是丹麦20世纪最有影响力的建筑师与设计师其中之一。不论是他的建筑作品或工业设计品，都是现代主义理想与北欧自然主义的结合。50年代起Jacobsen渐渐将兴趣转往产品设计，尤其受到美国设计师Eames夫妇的影响，被誉为20世纪经典作品之一的Ant Chair于1951年诞生，模铸夹板的椅背切割出如腰身般的美丽弧线，被暱称为蚂蚁椅的三脚迭椅将Jacobsen的知名度推上世界舞台， 紧接着1955年同系列四脚的Seven Chair更是广受好评， 设计给现代居家空间的Seven Chair更轻巧精緻，容易堆迭，连Jacobsen也意想不到这张椅子一推出即成畅销款， 至今由Fritz Hansen公司卖出超过500万张。

Swan Chair

1958年Jacobsen应邀设计哥本哈根的皇家饭店(Royal Hotel)，并同时替饭店的大厅与贵宾厅设计出了经典的Egg Chair蛋椅以及Swan Chair天鹅椅。这两张椅子原本只是放在Jacobsen车库裡的石膏模，Fritz Hansen公司用合成发泡材质覆以羊毛布料或是皮革。在50年代末期是十分创新的科技。包覆设计的曲线，让使用者可以优雅舒适的乘坐其中。2008年Fritz Hansen分别替两张椅子推出50周年纪念版，蛋椅推出限量999张的焦糖巧克力色皮革版，椅背为软鞣皮，椅脚则为手工抛光黄铜色，流水编号印于椅座正下方；天鹅椅则推出如同年份数字的1,958张限量白色软皮革版，珍珠贝母亮泽抛光的底座，限量流水编号则是刻印在圈附于底座的纯银鍊上，两款皆为近期收藏买家的焦点。
