Gingko lounge chair by Anne-mette Bartholin and Morten Ernst for Cozmo

The Gingko lounge chair, designed by Anne-mette Bartholin and Morten Ernst for Cozmo, merges material efficiency with a sculptural form, inspired by the gingko tree's leaf.

Originally conceived in the early 2000s, the chair has been updated by Bartholin and Cozmo over two years, focusing on proportion, construction, and comfort engineering. It features a moulded plywood seat shell, available in oak or walnut, supported by a slender, three-legged tubular steel frame.

The design emphasizes simplicity and expressiveness, with each component serving a clear function. The chair's generous proportions and curved shell are intended to be inviting and supportive, creating a subtle dynamic tension.

An easily removable upholstered cushion adds to the chair's lightweight and stackable nature. Bartholin describes the Gingko chair as possessing a poetic and embracing character.
