Emphasising security, warmth and comfort in all forms, the Normann Copenhagen Hyg Lounge Chair is an effortlessly stylish seating solution, suitable for a wide variety of different spaces.
The fabric upholstery adds a soothing tactility to the curved shell, embodying the Danish concept of “hygge” which also gives the chair its name. The capacious seat allows you to curl up in a position that suits you, with plenty of room to spread out. The swivel base adds a sleek touch of modernity, creating a pleasing contrast with the organic curves of the shell.

“Honesty is what makes a product understandable, and is what describes functionality of the products. If you understand the product, it doesn’t need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological- and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects, and makes them trustworthy. In my designs I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression.”
