Penguin

Description

Theo Ruth, a visionary product designer known for his innovative approach and aesthetic elegance, made significant contributions to the world of design. His work spanned a diverse array of industries, from cutting-edge technology to sustainable consumer goods. Theo’s meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence earned him recognition and accolades in the design community.

One of his most iconic designs is the “Penguin” chair, a masterpiece that epitomizes his ability to blend form and function seamlessly. Created between 1953 and 1957 during his tenure at Artifort Studio in Holland, this chair is designed to be easily disassembled into two parts with a simple movement. It has now been renovated and reupholstered with luxurious Australian sheep wool. This update enhances its timeless appeal, offering a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.

Theo’s creative journey was driven by a deep understanding of human behavior, allowing him to craft products that were not only visually appealing but also intuitively functional. Theo Ruth left a legacy of designs that continue to inspire and transform everyday experiences.

Inspired by Theo’s legacy, we’ve reupholstered and renovated his iconic chair into our TOUCHME collection, allowing you to create a cozy sanctuary wherever you are.
