The collaboration with lala Berlin emerged with the idea of having a fashion designer interpreting the Series 7™ chair. Choosing lala Berlin meant choosing the designer behind - Leyla Piedayesh - to release her creative energy, her Middle Eastern heritage and the modern Berlin bohème brand she has created in an interpretation of an Arne Jacobsen classic. In other words, the collaboration is the result of keeping the Series 7 relevant in time. The chair is upholstered in Dedar velvet. Both Series 7 chairs come with a matching monochrome base. Furthermore, the front upholstered version in lala Barberry comes with a high gloss painted shell in a matching colour. The special lala Berlin x Republic of Fritz Hansen collection is available in Republic of Fritz Hansen Concept Stores as well as selected stores worldwide from October 2017 to October 2018.
