Early set of 4 Arne Jacobsens iconic Model 3100 “Ant” chair. This is the rare first edition chair in teakwood with three legs and iron hardware underneath with Fritz Hansen “FH” stamp. 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 three-legged Ant is inspired by the simple, agricultural stools created to stand firmly on uneven floors in Danish farmhouses. The chair beautifully exemplifies Jacobsen’s understanding of the inherent strength of raw materials, consisting of only two parts: the combined seat and backrest in form-pressed plywood and a tubular steel frame.
The chairs are beautifully worn with few signs of wear and firm back rests.
