Cow Horn chair, designed by Knud Færch in 1969, is a Danish design classic that has been re-released by Warm Nordic.

Also known as the Model 521, Cow Horn is a fine example of Knud Færch’s love for sculptural shapes and woodworking traditions. Cow Horn chairs settle into groups by dining tables and add a playful touch to the interior also individually.
