The Penguin Dining Chair from Menu invites you closer like a plump penguin’s outstretched flippers. One can’t help but smile at the sight of this piece. Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen’s work has a knack for making one smile through clean and sculptural lines. These types of lines translate to pure comfort in the chair’s connected arm and backrest. This hugging element says time-tested sophistication with a woodgrain surface. The bent seat underneath it is a simple pleasure when resting for long durations. A graphic metal framework connects the sculptural shapes with dynamic lines that are balanced for the dining posture.

Menu, headquartered in Denmark, partners with designers to develop and produce a broad assortment of Scandinavian living accessories for the dining room, living room, kitchen, and garden.
