Notes
This iconic chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952, was also referred to as the 'Ant' chair because of the narrow waisted silhouette resembling that of an ant.
Originally created for the Novo pharmaceutical company's canteen, this chair represented a breakthrough in industrial furniture design through its elegant organic form and economical use of materials.
