A sculptural chair that embodies the playful spirit of master Jacobsen

The Tongue Chair was designed by Danish master Arne Jacobsen in 1955.
As its name suggests, it features a unique shape resembling a protruding tongue.

Originally designed for Munkegaard Primary School in Copenhagen, its minimalist yet organic curves still exude a timeless modernity even after more than half a century.

This model is manufactured by Howe and is a valuable chair that carries on Jacobsen's philosophy into the modern day.
It was made in 2020 and is in excellent condition with almost no signs of use.
This is especially recommended for those looking for a current model or who prioritize condition.

The "full black" finish, which is uniform in jet black from the seat to the legs, brings out Jacobsen's organic curves in their purest form.
In contrast to the nostalgic feel of the classic chrome legs, this model exudes a more architectural and tranquil modernity, tightening the space without being too assertive, allowing it to blend quietly and deeply into modern interiors.

The sophisticated coloring brings out a new side of this masterpiece and is sure to please connoisseurs.
Its beautiful, sculptural silhouette looks beautiful from any angle, making it ideal not only as a dining chair, but also as a display chair that can be placed against the wall like a work of art.

Please take this opportunity to consider it.
