Fritz Hansen adds a romantic twist to Serie 7™ with the Velvet Edition

Velvet brings a soft, elegant touch to the Series 7™ by Arne Jacobsen

This year Fritz Hansen is delighted to introduce the Series 7™ chair in velvet upholstery, pairing of luxurious Italian fabric and iconic Scandinavian design.

Fritz Hansen's design team has selected cotton velvet by Redaelli Velluti in three vibrant colours: Misty Rose, Autumn Red and Grey Blue. Powder coated steel legs in Brown Bronze compliment the velvets upholstery, adding subtlety and depth.

COLOURS: Misty Rose, Autumn Red and Grey Blue

Velvet has always been a luxury fabric. Difficult to produce and upholster, with a rich depth of colour and texture from the cut and uncut woven pile, velvet was only available to the very elite until quite recently.

“Popular colours give this iconic design an update. Doing so in velvet adds to its relevancy,” says Fritz Hansen's Head of Design, Christian Andresen.

The Series 7™ velvet measures 50,000 Martindale, meaning it is highly resistant to damage or crushing. Both sides of the chair are upholstered with maximum care and consideration for wear and longevity. Wood used for the shell is certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) ensuring it comes from forests that are managed with respect to ecological, social and ethical standards.

The combination of the Series 7™ design and velvet upholstery strikes a delicate balance between formality and simplicity, form and function, past and future. It can be used as a noteworthy accent chair or simple, luxurious seating for modern dining. The possibilities are endless.
