Upholstered Chair by Arne Jacobsen

The visual appeal of the “ Ant ” chair is delicate and artistic, reminiscent of the curves of a musical instrument. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952, the chair consists of nine layers of pressure-molded veneer, whose elegant form conceals its remarkable strength and comfort. The manufacturing process was revolutionary for its time, and the design was unusual. That is why the Ant did not enjoy immediate popularity—a fate that often befalls products that are ahead of their time. But time has since caught up with the Ant, and the chair has become yet another classic from Fritz Hansen . Despite its minimalist form and graceful design, Arne Jacobsen’s “Ant” chair is an exceptionally comfortable chair. The laminated wood construction, combined with the natural properties of the wood, provides sufficient elasticity to adapt to the contours and movements of the body. The “Ant” chair is available in many different versions.
