The distinctively edgy Grand Prix™ chair design by Arne Jacobsen was introduced by Fritz Hansen at the Designers’ Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen in 1957. Later that year, the chair was displayed at the Triennale in Milan where it received the Grand Prix – the finest distinction of the exhibition – and from where its name was derived. Originally, the Grand Prix chair was introduced as a four_x0002_legged chair with a wooden base. Today, the chair is now available as a counter stool, bar stool, and swivel chair in a wide range of possible base configurations in all standard natural veneers and all FH colours and upholstery options.
