First unveiled at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition, the award-winning Tired Man Lounge Chair captures architect Lassen’s vision of ultimate comfort - a piece “as warm and snug as a polar bear cub in its mother’s arms.” Its generous form and sculptural curves embody a rare balance of strength, softness and timeless style.
Only the second instalment of Audo’s Everyday Icons unfolding collection, this modern take on the Danish design classic is upholstered in luxurious Baena fabric from the distinguished Italian textile atelier Limonta. Dark-stained oak legs offer a striking contrast to the soft fabric texture, while the chair’s enveloping shape invites you to sink in and unwind. Whether placed in a living room, reading corner or by the fireplace, The Tired Man transforms any space into your sanctuary of warmth and relaxation.
Architect and modernist, Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was an initiator in bringing functionalism to Denmark.
After attending boarding school with Arne Jacobsen and his brother Mogens Lassen, the three of them maintained a close bond through childhood and later in life as colleagues. He is now renowned for his overstuffed furniture and has received major international recognition in the design world for his armchairs, which today have become known as “the Flemming Lassen style”.
