Manufacturer: Audo Copenhagen

Designer: Flemming Lassen

The Everyday Icons edition of The Tired Man Lounge Chair thoughtfully reinterprets a beloved Danish design. Its generous proportions are refreshed with modern upholstery and finishes, adding a new chapter to the rich legacy of this 1930s icon.

Originally designed in 1935 by Flemming Lassen and first unveiled at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition that same year, The Tired Man is distinguished by its sculptural, streamlined form and inviting winged backrest. While emblematic of 1930s aesthetics, the voluminous yet minimalist chair remains a celebrated Danish design icon 90 years after its conception - an heirloom cherished across generations.

The award-winning design represents an exceptional level of craftsmanship and comfort that has remained relevant for decades. Lassen's original, still available in Audo's collection, was upholstered in sheepskin, while this new Everyday Icons edition introduces a subtle material modernisation. Crafted by renowned Italian textile maker Limonta, a refined white Baena boucle upholstery encases the entire chair, lending a fresh, contemporary feel while retaining comfort. The contrast between the crisp white fabric and the chair's dark-stained oak legs creates a sophisticated yet highly versatile piece.

"The embodiment of cosy comfort and timeless aesthetics, Flemming Lassen's The Tired Man lounge chair is Danish design at its best."
