The Penguin Dining Chair by Audo Copenhagen
Designed in 1953 by Ib Kofod-Larsen, The Penguin Dining Chair is today considered a mid-century masterpiece. Calm, harmonious and shaped to cradle the body as it sits, the Penguin’s straightforward design provides a remarkably high level of comfort, as a rocking chair, dining chair and lounge chair. Seat and back upholstery ensure added support while lending the celebrated design a new expression.
