Despite his somewhat late appearance on the scenes of succesful Danish designers, Hans Sandgren Jacobsen has managed to carve himself a name and a niche in the Danish design tradition. His designs are loved by generations, and he is considered one of the great contemporary Danish designers. Some of his designs have already reached a status of classics, and he is still very much active – and appreciated by peers and customers alike. 

Hans Sandgren Jakobsen has fathered a long line of remarkable designs in the past four decades, and his work has been awarded countless times. His style is minimalistic – but his designs are almost opulent in the way that his little details always have a tremendous effect on the eye. 

Starting his career as a cabinet maker, Hans Sandgren Jakobsen’s approach to designs is often rooted in his craftsmanship. He knows how to bend and contort his materials for dramatic effects as well as soothing organic feels. His work has an air of curiosity around it - both his own and the one he tries to invoke in you.  

In a stark contrast to the many high-flying praises and awards, Hans Sandgren Jakobsen has a very down to earth ambition for his designs. An ambition of improving the quality of life with the owner. To simply create products that spread a genuine sense of joy – and to create products in a quality that will last at least a lifetime. 

The #105 Dining Chair is a thing of simplistic beauty. An elegant homage to the great chairs that came before it – while still making its own mark in the Danish design legacy. It is reminiscent of a classic reading chair; light and elegant, yet sturdy and robust. 

Longevity is a focal point in Hans Sandgren Jakobsen’s designs, and his chairs are designed and built to outlast us. Starting his career as a cabinet maker, the designer has a great affection for the craftmanship of chairmaking. Never compromising with the build quality, you will find little details of beauty from old fashioned craftmanship – like finger-jointing. 

Hans Sandgren Jakobsen makes designs to improve the quality of life of whoever owns them. This is a chair built for comfort as well as beauty - and the #105 Dining Chair is extremely pleasant to sit in. The back allows for you to change positions, and the dimensions of the chair are aligned with what makes sense ergonomically. 

The chair is designed to embrace its sitter; to provide a soothing comfort. It is a chair made for family meals and festive long evenings. It is a chair made for life.

Built for a lifetime – and beyond

The chair is made from solid wood with a twisting back piece, giving it the characteristic look and appeal that made it into a modern classic. The chair’s signature back piece is made from wood from the stump end of the tree – a much more flexible material allowing for the beautiful contortion. 

Hans Sandgren Jakobsen designed the #105 Dining Chair with materials and longevity in mind. He set out to make a chair that can be passed down through generations – using as few resources as possible. 

The chair is manufactured by Japanese ASAHIWOOD – a company that has produced high quality wooden furniture since 1966. The success and reputation of ASAHIWOOD is strongly rooted in craftsmanship and sensible use of materials. 

The #105 Dining Chair is built to withstand the pressure of time, tear, and wear, and it will grant comfort to your children and grandchildren as well. It is a chair timeless in design – built for generations.
