Automatic translation from Danish.

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971). Office chair, 'Syveren' with bent shell on swiveling five-step foot made of chrome-plated steel with wheels, height adjustable with gas cartridge, seat H. 47 - 57 cm. Designed 1955. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen, model 3117. Appears newly upholstered by a professional upholsterer with cognac colored aniline leather. Aniline leather is made on raw hides. The leather basically has a completely natural bare surface, where all natural marks are visible. This helps to emphasize the leather's unique character. The leather is full grain, which means that the natural surface structure is preserved. Aniline leather changes over time through use and exposure to light and quickly acquires a natural patina.
