"REPUBLIC OF FRITZ HANSEN STORE" showcases not only Danish masters like Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm, but also the latest creations born from collaborations with emerging designers active worldwide.
Cecilie Manz, who received the prestigious "Finn Juhl Prize" for product design in 2007 and lived in Japan during her childhood, has designed Fritz Hansen's latest work, "minuscule™." This is the first exhibition of the piece in Japan, with prototypes on display ahead of its release next spring.

With the concept of a "formal lounge chair for casual meetings," minuscule™ incorporates a gray plastic base, a fabric seat, and leather piping along the edges.
Furthermore, starting November 26 (Friday), STORE AOYAMA will host "The World of Arne Jacobsen," an exhibition that unfolds Jacobsen's universe, featuring iconic chairs like "EGG & SWAN," the cutlery set currently used at the "JACOBSEN" cafe, and the new OXFORD Front Padding.
