Product description

The GM 3706 Agern Armchair is the result of a close collaboration between designer and master cabinetmaker, enabling a bold, generously proportioned design supported by an elegant solid wood frame.

The chair’s beautifully curved backrest is a defining element of the design. As Hans Sandgren Jakobsen explains, the ambition was to create a support that follows the body without enclosing it. The curved form embraces the body in an open embrace, while the rounded ends provide natural arm support and allow you to sit back and relax in several different positions.

At the same time, the backrest’s generous, sculptural shell gives the chair a distinctive character when viewed from the front, back and side.

Designer Hans Sandgren Jakobsen on the Agern Armchair

For me, Agern is about creating a natural place for people to be.

When designing the chair, I took the human body as my starting point. I wanted the seat to feel inviting at first glance – compact, soft and with an oval shape that naturally encourages the body to settle in. The defined edge of the seat gives the chair a visually light expression, while the gently domed upholstery creates a comfortable and embracing seating experience.

The backrest was particularly important to me. I wanted to create a support that follows the body without enclosing it. Its curved form creates an open embrace, while the softly rounded ends provide natural support and a comfortable resting place for the arms.

Viewed from the side, the chair has a distinctive character, while from the front it appears calm and welcoming.

I have always been fascinated by the relationship between softness and precision, between the organic and the structural. In Agern, the upholstered upper section meets the solid wooden cross base. The construction is robust, yet the slightly angled legs give the chair a light and elegant expression.

Agern – A Natural Part of the Room

Agern is defined by a simplicity that does not seek attention, but invites a sense of presence.

The solid wood frame brings precision and structure, while the soft forms of the upholstery invite you to take a seat. The result is an armchair that feels natural in its form, natural to sit in, natural to look at and natural to have around you.

Agern is not designed to dominate a room, but to become a natural part of it.

Agern – crafted from the finest materials

… forming the foundation that supports the generously proportioned seat and backrest.

Agern is available in a carefully curated selection of exclusive upholstery fabrics from Kvadrat, Gabriel and Nevotex, as well as NAVER’s own leather qualities: Naver Select, Semi-Aniline and Aniline.

The materials offer the opportunity to create different expressions – from sophisticated and tactile to more natural and vibrant. Whatever the choice, each material enhances Agern’s distinctive form and the way the chair embraces the body.
