Model 3100 designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952, commonly known as "Ant Chair".
This chair was designed for the employee cafeteria of Novo Nordisk A/S, a pharmaceutical company that he himself built in the same year. The initial model Model 3100, which uses Brazilian rosewood made by Fritz Hansen, is not only made of rare materials, but also thinner and sharper than the current model.
