DESIGN BY ARNE JACOBSEN 1955 MUNKEGAARD CHAIR The Munkegaard chair, also known as the Mosquito chair, is a strong, bold original Arne Jacobsen design that demands attention. Functionality was a prerequisite for the Munkegaard chair. Originally designed in 1955 for the Munkegaard School, the chair is easily stackable and perfectly suited to home or office. It complements any décor, adding distinction, strength and charm, and making the statement of individuality it was always meant to. Thanks to our sophisticated engineering skills and construction techniques, we have been able to bring a 1950s original up-to-date, all without altering the aesthetics. We’ve made it greener and tougher than ever before, and turned it into what it is today: a new classic for the 21st century.
