Originally designed for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition, the by Lassen The Tired Man Lounge Chair & Footstool is instantly recognisable due to its sculptural silhouette, welcoming aesthetic and effortless portability. Boasting an enduring wooden structure, upholstered in sumptuous soft to the touch fabrics, the chair takes inspiration from the notion of a warm, snug polar bear cub in the arms of its mother. The design has been perfected with four innovative wheels, granting easy movement around the home and enabling full control of its positioning, whether placed in a living room, open-plan space or bedroom.
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”.
