Initially introduced back in 1938, Little Petra won instant praise at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition, subsequently winning awards at exhibits in New York and Berlin. It’s one of just a few designs by architect Viggo Boesen, who became associated with Denmark’s signature design aesthetic in the 1930s called funkis style. Little Petra is surprisingly petite, able to fit into all kinds of spaces, interiors and environments. Low to the ground, open and embracing, it embodies the essence of a lounge chair, allowing for all kinds of seating positions in any cosy setting imaginable.DesignerViggo BoesenA pioneer of his time, Viggo Boesen (1907 – 1985) made grand gestures in the world of Danish design and architecture, bringing a new perspective to the forefront of the collective imagination throughout the 1930s. His work reflected a new Scandinavian ‘Funkis’ style, a Nordic take on Art Deco, which was popular during the time and brought with it an array of surprising forms and silhouettes.Soft and nurturing, the Pouf is an ideal companion. With rounded legs in Oiled Walnut, and upholstery in Karakorum 003 , it lends an organic warmth to any interior. Pair with the Little Petra for an elegant lounge seating arrangement.Material : Upholstery Loop Oyster/09 and oiled walnutDimensions:Little Petra lounge chair : H: 75cm/29.5in, D: 83cm/32.7in, L: 81cm/31.9in, Seat h: 40cm /15.7in, Seating d: 55cm/21.6inPouf: H: 37cm / 14.6in, W: 53cm / 20.9in, D: 53cm / 20.9in.
