GRAND PRIX™
3130
The Grand Prix™ was introduced by Fritz Hansen at the Designers’ Spring
Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen, in
1957. Later that year, the chair was displayed at the Triennale in Milan
where it received the Grand Prix – the finest distinction of the exhibition.
Originally, the Grand Prix chair was introduced with a wooden base.
Today, the chair is available both with a base of wood and chromed steel.
ARNE JACOBSEN 1902-1971
The cooperation between Arne Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen dates back to
1934. But it was in 1952 the break-through came with the Ant™. It was
succeeded by the Series 7™ in 1955. This propelled his and Fritz Hansen’s
names into furniture history.
Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer.
At the end of the 50’s Arne Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel in
Copenhagen and for that project also the Egg™, the Swan™, the Swan Sofa™
and Series 3300™.
Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. While the
significance of Arne Jacobsen’s buildings was less appreciated, his furniture
and other design work have become national and international heritage.

ENVIRONMENT & TESTS
In case of repair and disposal the chair can be disassembled into two parts
(shell and base). The metal base and all other metal parts can be recycled.
Check local regulations for recycling in your area and whether there is
potential for reuse. Unupholstered chairs are coated with polyurethane
lacquer, which prevents the emission of formaldehyde.

7945 for stability (see test report for 3107, which is the same construction).
