Series 3300 Chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen for the SAS Air Terminal connected to the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen — a sister commission to the hotel itself that gave Jacobsen the opportunity to develop a seating family with a different formal character to the Egg, the Swan, and the Pot designed for the hotel interiors. The 3300 series exudes Jacobsen's unfailing sense of line and proportion: it is tighter and more angular than the organic hotel pieces, forming an elegant formal contrast that demonstrates the full range of his design vocabulary.
The Series 3300 Chair occupies a distinctive position within the Jacobsen collection — a design that achieves its effect through geometric precision and controlled formal restraint rather than through the flowing organic curves of his more widely celebrated hotel furniture. The result is a chair of considerable refinement and enduring relevance, one that has proved as adaptable to contemporary interior contexts as to the mid-century spaces for which it was originally conceived.
The Series 3300 Chair is well suited to residential living rooms and lounge settings, and its geometric precision and design heritage make it an effective specification for hospitality, commercial, and public environments where a lounge chair of genuine Jacobsen provenance is appropriate. It pairs naturally with the Series 3300 sofa and other Fritz Hansen lounge pieces in a coherent interior scheme.
