Product Information
Description
The Ant™ chair’s visual expression is delicate and artful, much like the curves of a musical instrument. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952, the chair is made from nine layers of pressure moulded veneer. Its elegant shape disguises its remarkable strength and comfort. The four-legged version of the Ant chair was occasionally produced during Jacobsen’s lifetime, it was only put into official production in 1971.

Designer Profile
Arne Jacobsen
Arne was another Great Dane — a Scandi architect who spent his life dreaming up bold new ways of living. He was particularly fond of nature, and spent a lot of time drawing outdoors. A passion that would ultimately lead to the creation of his bestselling Egg, Swan and Ant Chairs for Fritz Hansen. Today he’s remembered as one of the Fathers of Danish modernism and enjoys a permanent position in art museums across the globe.
Brand Profile
Fritz Hansen
The eponymous Fritz Hansen sits at the pinnacle of Danish design. It has played home to design royalty including Arne Jacobsen, Piet Henn and Hans Wegner. Since 1872 Fritz Hansen has been refining its unique visionary production techniques and designs culminating in archetypal creations which have shaped the furniture world. A true trailblazer within material development, renowned for their tenacious laminated wood first introduced into the collection in the 1930s. The furniture is beautifully shaped and functional, which seamlessly meets using innovative techniques and new materials.
