Story
Thanks to its classic, chic expression, the Orange Lounge Chair effortlessly complements a variety of interiors and existing aesthetics. As one of the earliest known shell chairs, the Orange acquired its playful name due to its characterful backrest and seat, both reminiscent of orange peel. The chair experiments with colour, fabrication and Olsen’s playful attitude to design, available in a choice of exclusive furnishing fabrics in a variety of colours and combinations.
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.
