Dezeen promotion: in our latest competition, Dezeen has partnered with Fritz Hansen to give away two Series 7 chairs, which are being offered with Italian velvet upholstery for the first time.
The Series 7 chair features a triangular backrest with curved edges, with a cinched waist and round seat, which dips at the front.
Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955, the hourglass-shaped chair has since become one of the furniture brand's bestselling products.

The chair seat measures 50 centimetres wide and 52 centimetres deep, and it stands 80.5 centimetres high. Its design allows for up to 12 units to be stacked on top of one another.
The Italian velvet upholstery option launched earlier this year, and is available in three colours: misty rose, autumn red and grey blue. Two readers will win a Series 7 chair in the velvet upholstery of their choice.

Sold exclusively by Fritz Hansen, the chairs are made using a technique called steam bending, that shapes nine layers of veneered timber in a mould using heat from the steam.
Customers can choose from a seat made from plain, stained or lacquered wood, leather or the new velvet upholstery.
The velvet is made from 100 per cent cotton and covers both the seat and underside of the chair. It is a durable upholstery textile that is resistant to crushing and abrasion.
Produced by Italian textile brand Redaelli Velluti, the family-run company has worked with velvet for over 100 years across the fashion, furniture and interior design industries....
