Designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, the Model 3108, commonly known as the “Lily” chair, represents one of Jacobsen’s most expressive explorations of the molded plywood shell. This matching pair was produced by Fritz Hansen in Denmark in 1977 and retains its white finish.
The Lily is immediately recognizable by the dramatic contrast between its broad, wing-like upper back and exceptionally narrow waist. The shell expands outward across the shoulders before drawing sharply inward at the transition between back and seat, creating a continuous and highly sculptural silhouette.
This pronounced shaping distinguishes the 3108 from Jacobsen’s earlier molded-plywood chairs, including the Series 7. Each molded shell is supported by a slender chromed-steel base, maintaining the visual lightness characteristic of Jacobsen’s furniture for Fritz Hansen.
Developed in connection with Jacobsen’s work on Danmarks Nationalbank in Copenhagen, the Lily became one of his final chair designs and demonstrates his continued exploration of pressure-molded veneer late in his career.
Both chairs retain Fritz Hansen production marks dated 1977, documenting their vintage Danish manufacture. The white shells are presented in original vintage condition, with age and wear consistent with use. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed view of the condition of each chair.
