The artwork features a uniquely teardrop-shaped seat, embodying both elegance and practicality. The seat is upholstered in a smooth tan leather, providing a comfortable and luxurious experience for the user. It stands on four slender, tapering metal legs that give it a light, almost floating appearance. The combination of the chair’s smooth curves and the minimalist design of the legs highlights Jacobsen’s innovative approach to modern furniture design. This chair remains an iconic representation of mid-century modern design and continues to be celebrated for its aesthetic and functional qualities.
