PH SNAKE CHAIR
Steel and leather chair
PH Snake Chair is a steel chair with aniline leather seat.
Seat available in 5 colours: walnut/Indian red/mocca/black/natural undyed. It can be ordered in two types of leather upholstery finishes: full upholstery around the tubes / visible steel tubes highlighting the unique shape and design.
Poul Henningsen designed in the 1930s 5 different, beautiful, functional and alternative chairs with a minimum of materials. His aim was to offer comfort and at the same time achieve aesthetic satisfaction, and in this way, he created 5 statement pieces: the PH Armchair, the PH Pope Chair, the PH Lounge Chair, the PH Chair and the PH Snake Chair.
Made with gently curved tubular steel legs, each of the chairs invites contemplation and lush relaxation in their leather or Hallingdal seats. Quality materials make these chairs an elegant design piece that will last for generations.
The flowing lines of the PH Snake Chair's steel tube design are inspired by a snake's powerful yet flexible body. It is multi-functional and may be used in any room at home, as a functional piece of art, or simply as a work of art to be appreciated for generations.
In 1932, Poul Henningsen presented eight tubular steel furniture designs at the Danish Fair for Industrial Design and Products. Bold, elegant and radically modern, the pieces stood apart from the wood furniture that defined the time. Although they drew attention in the Danish press, the collection never entered serial production. The market was not yet ready for such avant-garde designs, and the technology of the 1930s could not fully realize their complexity. Their curved forms and innovative construction were simply too advanced for the period. Only today has it become possible to reproduce them with the precision they require. After years of research, development and the search for the right craftsmanship, the collection has finally been brought to life. Each piece is produced in full respect of PH’s original vision and proportions. The result is a collection that still feels strikingly contemporary almost a century later. Functional yet sculptural, these works stand as timeless design pieces made for daily use and lasting value.
