Fritz Hansen - Ant Dining Chair natural wood

Fritz Hansen Ant Chair, naturel wood.

The iconic Ant dining room chairs in natural wood, designed by Arne Jacobsen, are one of the classics in the Fritz Hansen collection.

Arne Jacobsen designed the Ant Chair for the dining room of Novo Nordisk, an international Danish healthcare company. This chair has now become a true icon of Scandinavian design, and is considered by many experts to be the chair with the greatest aesthetic influence on design furniture that we know today.

Despite its minimalist shape and simple design, the Ant Chair is remarkably comfortable. The shell is composed of several layers of pressed and shaped veneer wood that give it both strength and perfect elasticity, so that it bends slightly.

The base is made of 14 mm chrome-plated steel tubes resting on synthetic shock absorbers.

The chair has an instantly recognizable shape for everyone and it has been expertly crafted from nine layers of pressure molded veneer, creating an extremely durable and long lasting seat shell.

Available in a variety of natural wood finishes, the series 7 is a true icon of contemporary design, perfect for use around your dining/kitchen table.

The dimensions: Height: 77cm x Width: 52cm x Depth: 51cm

The seat height: 44cm
