Oxford Chair with Castors

Manufacturer
Republic of Fritz Hansen

The original version of the Oxford chair was designed for the professors at St. Catherine's College in Oxford. The "professor's chair" later evolved into the Oxford series. This chair has a low back and castors. In spite of initial protests and uproar over the commission of a foreign moderist, Arne Jacobsen received an honorary doctorate from Oxford, upon completion of the project. This ground breaking example of total design is, today, considered Arne Jacobsen's most outstanding work.
