The The Drop Chair | Unupholstered Version, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, expresses Scandinavian design through a fully upholstered shell formed over reinforced plastic, where textile or leather surfaces define both comfort and visual softness. The material composition reflects Scandinavian design principles by combining upholstery with an internal ABS plastic structure reinforced with nylon, creating a balanced interaction between softness and structural clarity.

The base is constructed from steel tubes, available in chromed or powder-coated finishes, which introduces a precise contrast to the upholstered form and reinforces the clarity associated with Scandinavian design. This relationship between upholstery and steel highlights Danish design and Danish modern traditions, where material restraint and functional construction shape a cohesive Scandinavian design expression.

Founded in Denmark in 1872, Fritz Hansen has a long history of collaborating with international designers to bring visionary concepts into everyday spaces. Its extensive archive, dating back to its very first chair, continues to inform how Danish design and Danish modern values shape Scandinavian design today.
