FH4130 / Grand Prix by Arne Jacobsen 1957
/Grand Prix in the permanent collection of Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen
The chair was shown at the XI Triennial in Milan in 1957 - where the design was awarded the Grand Prix from which it takes its name - and then shown at Charlottenborg, in Copenhagen, later in the same year.
In the original version the shell was made with a teak or beech finish or the chair could be upholstered.
