Paris

BY ARNE JACOBSEN

The Paris chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1929 for

a competition published by The Basket Makers Association.

When he later the same year exhibited with the famous

“The House of the Future”, the chair was displayed as a part

of the interior design. Until World War II, the chair was

produced by Robert W. and is known both as Fremtidens

Stol (The Chair of the Future), Skovsneglen (The Forest Snail)

and the Paris Chair.
