Story
Upholstered in stunning Challenger leather in a range of colourways, the Mr. Olsen lounge chair was first designed in the 1950s, with its slender, organic aesthetic proving an instant hit, making it a perennial favourite. Featuring elegant oiled oak legs, the chair sits well in any space, contemporary or classical, and is certain to elevate whichever lucky environment is placed within.
Designed by
Hans Olsen
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.
