Menu Penguin Dining Chair, 1953

Penguin Dining Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen for Menu.

The Penguin chair is a light yet elegantly sculptural dining chair first produced in 1953. A modern Danish icon and a mid-century best-seller, its name is derived from the aquatic, flightless bird. The chair features an oversized, flipper-shaped backrest showcasing an organic approach to form, which gently embraces the sitter while handsomely contrasting the chair’s slender base.

The Penguin Dining chair is available with numerous upholstery options and in two different finishes.

The Penguin collection comprises a Lounge chair and Rocking chair – see the ‘Product range’ below.
