4130 Grand Prix from Fritz Hansen

The Grand Prix™ was introduced by Fritz Hansen at the Designers’ Spring Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen, in 1957. Later that year, the chair was displayed at the Triennale in Milan where it received the Grand Prix – the finest distinction of the exhibition. Originally, the Grand Prix chair was introduced with a wooden base. Today, the chair is available both with a base of wood or chromed steel.

The shell is steam bent in one piece made out of 9 layers of veneer. These layers are always lined with Indian cotton on the inside. The chair is available in two natural wood types and in 2 colours in coloured ash (the grain is visible and two shells might not be 100% identical). It is available as front upholstered and fully upholstered as well. The base consists of 4 wooden legs and is non-stackable.
