The Lesser-Known Ox-Chair


Designed by Arne Jacobsen for the National Bank of Denmark in 1966.


Arne Jacobsen designed this chair over a five-year period. Large, impressive, and extremely comfortable, when it was presented in 1966 it was met with surprise and admiration. “This is also how he can be: angular and with a touch of martial temperament that we could call Germanic or perhaps more properly Japanese in expression”
