Modern Furniture Design Profile

There were five different types of chair including an arm chair and a swiveling office chair.

Today the seat can be seen in colored variations and changes the look to the style of the time.

Jacobsen designed a linking device that allowed the chairs to be multifunctional and link together in rows for the use in auditorium or lecture rooms, a low cost way to accomodate large seating requirements.

It was, and still is a popular chair for use in offices and cafes and it's design has been copied worldwide -the sign of a very good design is when everyone wants to copy it!
