Contemporary dining chair THE PENGUIN

fabricleatherpowder-coated steel base

Designed in 1953 by Ib Kofod-Larsen, The Penguin Dining Chair is today considered a mid-century masterpiece. Calm, harmonious and shaped to cradle the body as it sits, the Penguin’s straightforward design provides a remarkably high level of comfort, as a rocking chair, dining chair and lounge chair. Seat and back upholstery ensure added support while lending the celebrated design a new expression. Light, elegant, sculptural and artistic, the Penguin Dining Chair is a rare Danish Modern icon designed by Danish furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953. When it was launched in the United States, the chair was also called the Ib Kofod-Larsen Chair – and has therefore become Kofod-Larsen’s signature. The proportions with the slightly oversize seat and back, the large organically shaped shell in contrast to the petite, slender frame have a naivety about them. But at the same time, The Penguin Dining Chair is a sophisticated, bold chair with plenty of personality – an all-round chair, but anything but ordinary. Its penguin-shaped flippers on the back of the chair are typical of Ib Kofod-Larsen’s simple and honest aesthetics. The back moulds its way into the body to ensure comfort and support as well as a unique sitting experience. The Penguin Dining Chair is perfect for both the home and public spaces.
