Midcentury Office Chairs

Fritz Hansen Launched the Updated Oxford Chair for the Office

The Oxford Chair was recently released as an updated version of Arne Jacobsen's midcentury chair. Launched by Fritz Hansen, the chair was originally designed for professors at St Catherine's College in Oxford. It is shaped to support the user's body as they sit for maximum comfort.

The upgraded Arne Jacobsen Oxford Chair was reworked for use within corporate offices, home offices, and a new generation of workspaces. Boasting a simplistic design, the chair is sleek and elegant. Moreover, the chair is customizable. Consumers can opt to include armrests, bases and change the upholstery as they see fit for their design schemes. In addition, the chair is available as a low or mid-back model to optimize the user's comfort.
