The Ant Chair - 3101

Arne Jacobsen

Beautiful and elegant. However, not immediately popular in 1952 when Fritz Hansen launched the Ant designed by Arne Jacobsen. The chair had only 3 legs and no arms !Nevertheless, revolutionary in 1952, due to shell design with back and seat made out of one piece of laminated wood with 9 layers of molded veneer and 2 layers of cotton textile in-between.The 4 legs are chromed or satin chromed steel. The Ant, in more conservative terms is referred to as model 3100 with three legs, or model 3101 with four legs which was added in 1980.The color range is wide. The Ant is available in lacquer or lazur, maple or beech veneer or dark-stained oak.
