The Hammer chair by Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971)
The 3103 is one of Arne Jacobsen’s legendary chairs for Fritz Hansen. Fritz Hansenbut it has a distinct identity and is not commonly referred to as “Series 7”. This chair is better known as the “Hammer Chair”, due to the shape of its original backrest, which resembled the handle of a hammer.
- Design: Although it uses the same revolutionary die-cast veneer technique that Arne Jacobsen perfected with the Ant chair (Model 3100) and Series 7 (Model 3107), the shell of the 3103 has a slightly different shape, often perceived as wider or with a slightly more angular back than the gentle curve of the 3107.
- Base: The visual difference also lies in the base. In contrast to the four tapered tubular legs of the 3107, the 3103 originally used a single, more complex base that is now only found in vintage versions, as it is no longer produced. As a result, the 3103 is now rarer, making it a sought-after collector’s item.
