This beautiful, moulded Gesture Chair, designed in the 1950s, was the work of the renowned Danish architect, Hans Olsen. The armrests invite you to sit down and relax, whilst a curvaceous form affords the user excellent lumbar support for ultimate comfort. The chair is available here unupholstered in three exclusive types of wood; teak, white oiled oak and black lacquered beech, each offering an eye-catching finish for your chosen space. The chair is also available in an upholstered version.
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.
