The iconic balloon lounge chair with its industrial look was the work of the highly acclaimed Danish architect, Hans Olsen, who designed the chair in the 1950s. The design of the lounge chair is raw, playful and embracing, appealing to the senses with exquisite nubuck, teak armrests and a light metal frame. Balloon will lend a touch of coziness and lounge ambience to any area of the home, either alone or in the company of other furniture, whether modern or classic. The lounge chair does not take up much space, it is lovely to sit in and it will add a touch of sophistication to any living room, family room or study. In terms of craftsmanship, balloon requires a huge degree of expertise. The nubuck is stretched over the frame and fastened to it at the back with laces – a beautiful detail. While the balloon lounge chair has a raw, masculine look, there is also something feminine and charming about it.
