The original version of the Oxford™ chair was designed for St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, in 1963. When the Dean of St. Catherine’s College chose Arne Jacobsen to build an extension for the college, he was also commissioned to design a furniture series for the college. The chair’s extra tall back served as a symbol of prestige and created a space of its own. This groundbreaking example of total design is, today, considered Arne Jacobsen's most outstanding work. The Oxford chair has been revitalized and now it looks more like the original tall, wooden chair. The chair is available with a tall, medium and low back and in a lounge model. It comes in a wide range of fabric and leather upholstery, with or without arms, with or with castors. This model - 3273 - is medium back, fixed height (seat height 48cm), with arms, on 'toe' base
