Upholstered in timeless nubuck leather, and featuring an uncomplicated black powder-coated frame, the Balloon lounge chair appears simple upon first sight, yet offers a deep sense of comfort.
Defined by what is a relatively compact footprint for a lounge chair, the Balloon Chair is well suited to a wide variety of settings, both large and small, and brings with it an instant sense of characterful gravitas that will surely elevate its surroundings.
Hans Olsen’s remarkable designs from the 1950s are vivid examples of the beautiful diversity of Danish Modernism. This Danish architect and industrial designer took on the classic virtues of the Academy of Fine Arts and the great master, Kaare Klint, but opted for a more playful and experimental approach to furniture design.
Hans Olsen challenged contemporary production methods and much of his inspiration came from the opportunities offered by moulding wood. A refusal to compromise in terms of comfort, functionality and aesthetics is Hans Olsen’s trademark, and his iconic design attracts just as much attention today as it did back then. Designs such as Warm Nordic's Fried Egg Lounge Chair are among Olsen's classic works.
