All-wood lounge configuration
The Penguin Wooden Lounge Chair uses a solid oak frame with a form-pressed veneer seat and back. Audo describes the back as curved to support the body and the overall form as compact. Natural oak and red-stained oak versions are listed.
Published dimensions
The chair measures 55 cm wide × 64 cm deep × 74 cm high, with a 41 cm seat height. The selected Natural Oak version is SKU 71317-020610 and is the configuration used for the official USD price and main image.
Story
A distinct wooden Penguin derivative
Audo presents this as a separate Wooden Lounge Chair rather than the steel-frame Penguin Lounge Chair. The solid oak base and form-pressed surfaces establish its own construction, proportions and current SKUs.
Two oak treatments
The official product data lists Natural Oak and Red Stained Oak versions. Although Audo connects the chair to mid-century Danish design and to The Penguin collection, the saved page does not assign this derivative its own design year, so the original family's 1953 date is not inherited here.
