About this vintage design furniture
Very good condition this vintage item has no defect, but may have slight wear marks. Designer : Arne Jacobsen's ideas shaped the Danish design landscape for more than half of the 20th century, spreading from Scandinavia to influence architects and designers around the world. He has successfully managed projects ranging from complex buildings like Danmarks NationalBank to detailed challenges as humble as a special teaspoon for his cutlery set, working with a relatively small studio staff driven by an unquenchable need to create. Jacobsen's creative process was centred on his strict attention to detail. He brought his visions to life for customers and builders with scrupulous hand-painted watercolours. In any given year, Jacobsen has managed to design what others might be happy to produce in five years. Ant No. 3100: The hull is steam-folded in one piece consisting of 9 layers of veneer. These diapers are always lined with Indian cotton on the inside. The base is made of chromed steel height (43 cm). Extras: The ant is stackable - up to 12 pieces. Originally created for the canteen of the Danish company Novo Nordisk, the Ant ™ was presented on Fritz Hansen's 80th birthday and the press and critics instantly fell in love with the visionary design. Fritz Hansen, on the other hand, was initially more sceptical about the production of the chair: the minimalist design of the three-legged chair made it too difficult to sit down because it reclined easily. But Arne Jacobsen believed so strongly in his design that he promised to buy every chair that wasn't sold. This convinced the company to put the chair into production and has been doing so ever since. The laminated wood chair with a metal base proved to be a milestone for Fritz Hansen and Arne Jacobsen.
