Oxford High Office Chair is the high-back version of Arne Jacobsen's Oxford chair, originally designed for professors at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford — a commission that gave Jacobsen responsibility for the complete interior design of one of Oxford's most architecturally significant post-war buildings. The Oxford chair was conceived specifically for the academic and intellectual environment of the college, and its combination of formal dignity and ergonomic refinement reflects the seriousness of that context.
Fritz Hansen has reissued and updated the Oxford for contemporary workspace requirements, introducing adjustable seat height, tilt function, and lumbar support while preserving the essential character of Jacobsen's original design. The high back version provides full upper back and shoulder support, making it appropriate for extended periods of seated work. The chair is available in multiple back heights and a broad range of upholstery options, allowing it to be specified across different workspace environments and aesthetic directions.
The Oxford High Office Chair is well suited to executive offices, high-specification meeting rooms, and professional environments where a task chair of genuine design heritage and Fritz Hansen production quality is required. Its combination of ergonomic performance and architectural pedigree makes it one of the most considered specifications available in the premium office chair category.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing, 3D model, Revit file and ArchiCAD file.
