ArchitectMade | Wenge Penguin - Mini by Hans Bunde

Hans Bunde originally created Penguin in 1954, one for each of his sisters. This particular version of Penguin is handcrafted in silky smooth beech and uniquely nuanced wenge wood. The fine lines that appear naturally in wenge wood will get less noticeable over time and will uphold its majestic appearance.
