PRODUCT DETAILS

The Oxford™ chair was handcrafted for the professors at St Catherine’s College at the University of Oxford and designed by Arne Jacobsen. A symbol of prestige and status, the high back and smooth, curved veneer form were crafted to invoke a sense of space and privacy. The design evolved over time into today’s Oxford™ Classic. The medium-backed Oxford Classic 3173C retains the balanced visual harmony and authoritative expression of the original professor’s chair designed by Arne Jacobsen for Oxford University. The chair exudes minimal confidence and Arne Jacobsen’s signature blend of form and function with carefully considered engineering.

Description

In Arne Jacobsen's world-renowned Oxford series, the "professor's chair" later evolved into the comfortable and functional Oxford Classic Chair. It is available with a tall, medium or low back, and in a Premium model, in a wide range of fabric and leather upholstery, with or without arms. The Oxford Classic Chair is the perfect addition to any home or office. Despite initial protests, Jacobsen's work was met with critical acclaim and he even received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University. This groundbreaking example of total design is considered one of Jacobsen's most outstanding works.
