Once – the tall, wooden chairs were exclusively for the professors at St. Catherine's College in Oxford. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1963. Two years later, in 1965 the Oxford chairs were added upholstery and then put in production. Over the years, the chairs grew thicker and changed appearance

40 years after the introduction the Oxford chairs were revitalized; today the look is much more true to the originals. A much more sculptural look has been obtained. Tall, medium-high or with a low back, lounge models, different options, e.g. casters and arms. Leather or fabric upholstery.

Der Oxford Stuhl wurde entsprechend der Linienführung und den Maßen von Arne Jacobsens Originaldesign neu gestaltet. Das Ergebnis ist ein schlankerer und noch schönerer und bequemerer Stuhl. Bestens geeignet als Konferenzstuhl, Gästestuhl oder Arbeitsstuhl sowie in Loungebereichen.

The Oxford Chair is in other versions available on request: with low, medium, or high back; height adjustable or not. It is also availableon request with rolls. Accessoires like arm supports, aluminium gliders, and return mechanism are also available on request!
