About the Item

A sculptural pair of Balloon Chairs by Hans Olsen for Lea Design, Denmark, 1950s. These iconic seats feature softly patinated suede upholstery stretched over a distinctive curved shell, resting on slender black steel legs. The organic bowl-like form is punctuated by sculpted wooden armrests, adding warmth and tactility. A masterclass in Danish modernism, the design balances visual lightness with a bold, architectural presence.
