3208 the Lily

The 3208 was originally designed and presented on the Danish furniture fair in 1970 and is possibly the most beautiful armchair by Arne Jacobsen. Jacobsen used the 3208 in his furnishing of the Danish central bank, and the chair was in production until the end of the 70's. The production process was and is very difficult; the curves of the shell required substantial pressure which resulted in about ¾ of the finished shells being rejected, and it was consequently discontinued. Through the years, production methods have been improved and therefore the 3208 could be reintroduced with the more poetic name, the Lily. Today it's an exclusive, upgraded version of Arne Jacobsen's design available in red, white and black lacquer and also with black leather.
