Hi,

I got some second hand Series 7 chairs from Arne Jacobsen (by Fritz Hansen). When trying them, I found them quite low, so I measured them: around 42cm. On the Fritz Hansen site, it's mentioned the chair should be 46cm. Since my chairs are pretty old, maybe there was a previous version?

Also, is there a "trick" to make them a few cm higher? I found some felt gliders (not original ones), or some pillows. Any other tips??

Many thanks!!
Jan

Three heights
Fritz Hansen used to have three heights for their chairs: 18.3" Seat (current), 17.3", and 19.3". About 3-4 years ago they simplified and kept only the 18.3".
