Product Information
Description
The Penguin Lounge Chair emerges as a mid-century marvel, a symphony of relaxation with a daring twist. Brimming with tranquility and equilibrium, this low-seated gem exudes a sense of calmness and assurance. To sit in its embrace is to find comfort and security—a deep, immersive experience designed by the visionary Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953.
Kofod-Larsen's focus wasn't just on crafting a chair; it was on crafting an experience for the person seated. The chair's curved back and angled seat cradle the body, blending simplicity with an unexpected level of comfort. Beyond its apparent straightforwardness, the Penguin Lounge Chair possesses a graphic purity that seamlessly intertwines with other pieces of furniture, forming a harmonious visual composition.

Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
