Calm, harmonious and shaped to cradle the body as it sits, the Penguin's straightforward design provides a remarkably high level of comfort. A mid-century bestseller from the hand of Ib Kofod-Larsen, The Penguin Dining Chair remains as popular today as when it was first introduced in 1953. Light and elegant with its curved wooden back, it continues to offer unparalleled sitting comfort thanks to its considered combination of quality craftsmanship and premium materials.

Ib Kofod-Larsen is the epitome of Danish Modern. His furniture creations sit in the tension field between art and design. Although they have clear references to the mid-century period, they proffer a contemporary aesthetic that makes it difficult to decode whether they were designed then or now. Defined by a simplicity and straightforwardness that belies their complex craft and thoughtful details, Kofod-Larsen's elegant designs are rare examples of Danish furniture at its finest.

This version of the Penguin Dining Chair features a natural wood veneer seat & back. Please contact Hive Modern to order a version with an upholstered seat or fully upholstered.
