The Tongue Chair is a classic chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 for Munkegaard School in Denmark. The Tongue is a typical piece of Arne Jacobsen's style and his second completed chair design, which was created just after the Ant.[1]
The Tongue was later placed at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen; however, it was not available internationally until the 1980s (for a short time only), and even after that, it could not find a place in the market. [2]
The Tongue chair is now back in the design and furniture industry and is restored to its original design by Danish contract furniture manufacturer Howe.[citation needed]
