Ant Chair, 3 Legs, Front Upholstered

3100 Ant Chair, 3 Legs, Front Upholstered by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen.

Experience the exquisite Ant™ chair, a true masterpiece designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952. This stunning chair captivates with its delicate visual expression, reminiscent of the graceful curves found in musical instruments. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Ant™ chair boasts a construction of nine layers of pressure moulded veneer, combining artistry and durability seamlessly.

Drawing inspiration from the sturdy, agricultural stools used in Danish farmhouses to maintain stability on uneven floors, the three-legged Ant™ chair exemplifies both simplicity and functionality. Arne Jacobsen's brilliance shines through in this design, as he ingeniously harnesses the inherent strength of raw materials. Consisting of just two components, the chair features a form-pressed plywood seat and backrest, elegantly complemented by a tubular steel frame.

To enhance the seating experience, the chair's shell is thoughtfully padded with polyurethane (PUR) foam, ensuring optimal cosiness. Employing a water-soluble glue, the upholstery is expertly bonded to both the foam and the shell, guaranteeing a secure and lasting connection. Indulge in the added comfort provided by a wide selection of upholstery options, including an array of fabrics and luxurious leather.

The veneer layers are glued together with water-based urea-formaldehyde glue. Un-upholstered chairs are coated with polyurethane lacquer, which prevents the emission of formaldehyde.
