Fritz Hansen
AJ Children’s chair Fritz Hansen – Arne Jacobsen

Introduce your children to the world of design with fritz hansen's expanded series of children's chairs now including the Ant Chair, Grand Prix, Lily and Series 7. These playful and versatile design icons have the same technical and aesthetic attributes as Arne Jacobsen's full-size chairs, icons of modern furniture history.

These children's versions were created by Arne Jacobsen when he designed the Rødovre library, where a seating area called "the disco" was set up for them. The original chairs are still in daily use at Rødovre Library, bringing joy and excitement to young users of the space.

Perfect gifts for children, the chairs can then be used as a small side table. They are stackable, which makes them easy to store.

Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen is born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, is a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, a bank clerk, paints floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in a typical Victorian style home. As a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste, Arne paints his room in white.

Background & school relations

He met the Lassen brothers at Nærum Boarding School: later, Flemming Lassen was to become his partner in a series of architectural projects. Arne Jacobsen is a restless pupil, always up to pranks, with a self-deprecating humour. Already as a child, he showed an extraordinary talent for drawing and depicting nature through scrupulous studies. He wants to be painter, but his father felt that architect was a more sensible choice.

The Pleasant and the necessary trips abroad

Jacobsen’s travelling begin already in his twenties, when he went to sea to New York. Then followed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer in Germany and a series of study and drawing excursions to Italy. Jacobsen produced some of his finest watercolours during this period, capturing atmospheres and shapes accurately and carefully. From the beginning of his career, Jacobsen turned his gaze abroad, without abandoning Danish traditions.

Arne Jacobsen behind the design

Jacobsen production reflects his personality: an insistent, perfectionist modernist, to whom no detail was trivial, although the main picture was basically black/white and unambiguous. On the other hand, the nature-loving botanist and jovial family man: like him, his work is precise and warm, Danish and universal, modern and timeless.
