A Revelatory Relaunch – Fritz Hansen

An international pioneer in furniture, lighting, accessory design and production since 1872, Fritz Hansen’s dedication to meticulous craftsmanship gives rise to the brand’s enduring presence within the design industry. Renowned for its iconic pieces, Fritz Hansen’s timeless designs are lovingly crafted, venerating materials with attentive detailing and exceptional functionality. Looking ever-forward to innovation, the Danish design house has relaunched two of its celebrated furniture pieces. Reborn, the Oxford™ chair and Pluralis™ table return, spritely in their reimagination.

A classic office staple, the Oxford™ chair pays homage to its traditional form while employing contemporary technology to enhance its ergonomic features. A quintessential offering of the brand, the Oxford™ chair was originally created by decorated designer Arne Jacobsen to serve the professors of St. Catherine’s College in Oxford. Characterised by soft curves to contour and support the body, the Oxford™ chair’s silhouette is instantly recognisable by users across the globe.

Renowned for its iconic pieces, Fritz Hansen’s timeless designs are lovingly crafted, venerating materials with attentive detailing and exceptional functionality.

The perfect balance between elegance and comfort, the relaunched Oxford™ chair’s form enjoys the addition of lumbar support, an extended seat with adjustable height to accommodate a range of body types and activities and deftly designed armrests that angle downwards to easily slip under tabletops. An extensive range of customisation options are offered, including a new four-star fixed base and a range of seat upholstery and base finishes. The ingenuity of this design is its accommodation of superior sitting posture and the simple yet striking aesthetic that suits a range of settings, from home offices to dining rooms, conference rooms or public spaces.

Versatile and streamlined, the Pluralis™ table exemplifies the dynamic furniture craftsmanship Fritz Hansen is known for. Adeptly designed to deliver adaptability, the Pluralis™ fulfils multiple uses by intently offering a sleek, blank canvas ready to be moulded by the needs of its users. Designed by Kasper Salto, the Pluralis™ performs as a contemporary dining table, an expansive work desk or welcomes additional counterparts to form a seamlessly configurable boardroom set up. Its functionality and sophisticated, pared back design see the Pluralis™ emerge as a robust standalone piece or responsive element ready for integration.

Testament to Fritz Hansen’s distinguishing pieces that present exquisite form coupled with clever functionality, the relaunch of the Oxford™ chair and Pluralis™ table combine contemporary ergonomics with iconic design.

Propped on angled metal legs to afford stability, the Pluralis™ table features generous leg room and provides the opportunity to attach optional overhang extenders for even greater seating capacity. Keeping with the clean design, bespoke solutions for power and cable management deliver an uncluttered working experience. Suited to any setting with its choice of premium veneer, laminate or linoleum surfaces, the Pluralis™ table’s six standard styles range from 160 centimetres to 720 centimetres, three different widths and four tabletop options.
