A mid-century bestseller from the hand of Ib Kofod-Larsen, The Penguin Dining Chair remains as popular today as when it was first introduced in 1953. Light and elegant with its curved wooden back and upholstered seat, it continues to offer unparalleled sitting comfort thanks to its considered combination of quality craftsmanship and premium materials.
The curve of that wooden back hugs just right—lean back after dinner and it feels like the chair was made for your spine. The re-wool upholstery adds a warmth that balances the natural oak perfectly, and it’s sturdy enough for nightly use without a wobble.
It’s so light I can move it with one hand, yet the re-wool upholstery feels sturdy enough for daily dinners. The curved wooden back makes leaning back surprisingly comfortable, and the natural oak finish matches my table perfectly.
The curved wooden back hugs just right—I actually catch myself leaning back in it during long dinners instead of sitting up straight. Assembly took maybe ten minutes and the oak finish matches my table perfectly, though I do wish the re-wool upholstery came in more colors.
