Model 3107 chair

Description

The chair, along with the Jacobsen's Ant chair, was, according to Jacobsen, inspired by a chair made by the husband and wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames using their plywood bending techniques.

The chair is available with several different undercarriages—as a regular four-legged chair, an office chair with five wheels, and as a bar stool. It can come equipped with armrests, a writing table attachment, and various forms of upholstery.

The chair is widely believed to have been used in Lewis Morley's iconic 1963 photograph of Christine Keeler; however, the chair used in this photograph was an imitation and not an original Jacobsen model. The Keeler chair had a handhold cut in the back. After the publication of the pictures, sales of the chair rose dramatically.
