First introduced at the Design Triennale in Milan, the Grand Prix™ chair became one of Jacobsen’s greatest accomplishments, winning the highly acclaimed Grand Prix™ award of which it has been named ever since. Crafted using pressure moulded veneer the Grand Prix™ chair is both lightweight and highly elegant, boasting an angular geometric silhouette in an array of vibrant and refreshing hues, all intrinsically linked with a deep red undertone. The ergonomically designed seat is stylishly paired with a tubular steel frame, finished in chrome or with a choice of powder-coated paint, allowing the chair to be entirely customisable to the user.
Ideal for use as a dining, desk or occasional side chair, the Grand Prix™ is both practical and versatile, adding vibrancy and colour to a variety of interior spaces, part of the wider Grand Prix™ collection.
