The inspiration for the new chair Taco is to be found in the exotic Mexican cuisine whose beautifully arched taco dorado shells are reborn as the dominating shape in both seat and back. The super-elliptical shells are placed in a geometrical grid that turns the chair’s silhouette into a harmonious shape hovering gently in the room it is placed.

Taco comes with many possibilities. For greater comfort, the seat, as well as the back rest, can be upholstered. This way of bringing the Taco chair to life is just one example of how you can easily match strict minimalism with perfect relaxation. The chair comes in many variations from the most basic version to a special upholstered edition with a built-in arm.

Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen’s trademark functionalism has made them a household name in the impressive canon of famed Danish designers. Regardless of what object they produce, an organic mode of expression is always discernible – as is an uncompromising demand for absolute quality in all links of the production process. Throughout the years, the Danish duo has enriched the Erik Jørgensen brand with outstanding furniture, and Taco is no exception.
