The Grand Prix™ design was first introduced at Jacobsen’s Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design, Copenhagen in 1957. Later that year, the chair was displayed at the Triennale in Milan where it received the Grand Prix award, after which the chair took its name. Available in oak and walnut natural wood finishes, this durable yet stylish design is ideal for a modern dining space, truly enhancing contemporary or classic interiors with its timeless profile.
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen’s buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
