The Ant chair’s visual expression is delicate and artful, much like the curves of a musical instrument. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952, the chair is made from nine layers of pressure moulded veneer. Its elegant shape disguises its remarkable strength and comfort. The three-legged Ant is inspired by the simple, agricultural stools created to stand firmly on uneven floors in Danish farmhouses. The chair beautifully exemplifies Jacobsen’s understanding of the inherent strength of raw materials, consisting of only two parts: the combined seat and backrest in form-pressed plywood and a tubular steel frame.
These specimen are crafted out of beech wood and were produced in 2001 in Denmark.
The chairs are in their original condition with minimal age appropriate patina.
Dimensions: 52cmWx51cmDx77cmH - Seat Height44 cm
