A PAIR OF `ANT CHAIRS`, DESIGNED BY ARNE JACOBSEN, shaped plywood seat on three steel legs. Arne Jacobsen was a Danish architect and designer. Though associated primarily with prestige in his most famous architectural designs the legacy of his entry in decorative art is one surrounding the popular mass production of this `Ant Chair`. The unpretentious `Ant Chair` design became internationally famous only months following its first showing at furniture titan Fritz Hansen`s 80th birthday. The design proved to be Jacobsen`s big break and the design of this chair has endured into the present time from the compositional inception in 1952. Jacobsen was an avid supporter of ultramodern architecture and design and had an intuitive understanding of contemporary movements. This no doubt greatly inspired the use of tripod legs which were becoming ever more fashionable into the 1950`s. Though other designers of Jacobsen`s era preoccupied themselves with functionalism, often at the expense of decor. Jacobsen himself was concerned with translating contemporary innovations and combining them with functional furniture, though by no means at the expense of originality. The fashionable plywood seat and steel tripod legs hark back to the 1950`s and nod to the chairs following of furniture connoisseurs as well as displaying the functionality desired by the consumers of the era. In this way the `Ant Chair` appealed to both the market for fashion and exclusivity as well as explaining its enduring replication in the consumer market of mass production.
