The Penguin rocking chair leans towards the American modernists from the 1950s and 1960s. So beautiful that it can be displayed as a work of art in any home, it is open in its construction with a curved back of oak or walnut veneer and has a seat upholstered in fabric or leather against the stringent steel frame.
Contrasting and playful, while being well-proportioned and fully formed, the chair, designed by furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953, is a piece of Danish cultural heritage and design history – and maybe more modern than ever before with its beautiful silhouette and sculptural, organic lines and curves.
A mid-century bestseller from the hand of Ib Kofod-Larsen, The Penguin rocking chair remains as popular today as when it was first introduced in 1953. Light and elegant with its curved wooden back and seat, it continues to offer unparalleled sitting comfort.
