To mark the 50th anniversary of Danish designer Arne Jacobsen’s iconic butterfly chair (or the “series seven”), 13 fashion labels, including G-Star, Louis Vuitton, Diesel and Missoni, dreamed up their versions of Jacobsen’s hot seat. With coaching from the chair’s original producer, Allerød and Denmark-based Fritz Hansen, each fashion house was asked to come up with its own modern adaptation. G-Star, for example, molded a sheet of lead into the form of Jacobsen’s chair and engraved “Raw” on its back, while Louis Vuitton put its spin on the design by turning it into a swing. The chairs will be exhibited at London-based contemporary furniture store Aram from Nov. 11 to Nov. 26 before traveling to Milan, New York and Tokyo. wwd
