1st Edition Tongue Chairs by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, 1955, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A remarkable find right here: two rare ‘Tongue’ chairs designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 for the Munkegaars school. This model is hard to find and this particular pair is among the first Fritz Hansen productions from the 1950s which makes them very special. It was originally bought as a set together with an ‘Egg’ table and one Ant chair which are also available. They remain in a very good original condition with a lovely patina thanks to age and use. Solid back supports. The Tongue from 1955 is Arne Jacobsen’s smallest chair and also has the most pared-down silhouette. The design was part of Arne Jacobsen’s holistic vision for the Munkegaard School in 1957, and a few years later it was included in his acclaimed design of the SAS Royal Hotel.

About the Creator

Arne Jacobsen

Born in Copenhagen in 1902, Arne Jacobsen apprenticed as a bricklayer before studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of the Arts. In 1925, he participated in the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and subsequently travelled to Germany. During this formative trip, he came under the influence of Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Prior to World War II, Jacobsen designed a number of private and public buildings in Denmark and, in the process, helped to formulate what would eventually be called the Danish Modern style. In 1943, he fled Denmark for Sweden, where he found work designing fabrics and wallpapers, but he returned home after the war. In the ensuing decades, Jacobsen became the most dominant figure in Danish architecture. Inspired greatly by Charles Eames, he began to design furniture for his interiors, such as the iconic Swan Chair and Egg Chair.
