Features and functionality
The Oxford Chair was handmade for professors at St Catherine's College, Oxford University and designed by Arne Jacobsen. A symbol of prestige and status; the low back and smooth, curved shape of the veneer were crafted to invoke a sense of space and privacy. The design evolved over time into today's Oxford Classic.

Materials and construction
The Oxford Classic 3171C retains the balanced visual harmony and authoritative expression of the original professor's chair designed by Arne Jacobsen for the University of Oxford. The chair exudes minimal confidence and Arne Jacobsen's signature blend of form and function with carefully considered engineering.
