The Ant Chair 3100 3101

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 moulded veneer and 2 layers of cotton textile in-between.
The 3 or 4 legs are chromed or satin chromed steel.
The Ant – in more conservative terms referred to as model 3100 with three legs, or model 3101 with four legs that was added in 1980.
