Georg Thams was a German industrial designer born in 1935 in Flensburg and died in 2016 in Tønder, Denmark. He studied at the Flensburg School of Applied Arts and began his career working as a carpenter before turning to industrial design. In the 1960s, he moved to Denmark to work for the renowned furniture design company FDB Møbler, where he worked alongside such greats as Børge Mogensen and Poul M. Volther. Thams would go on to design scores of pieces that have become icons of the Danish Modern movement with pieces on permanent display in dozens of art museums around the world.
With it's ability to recline and swivel 360 degrees, iconic lines and HEAVY duty solid aluminum bases this instantly recognizable chair and ottoman set are the epitome of modern luxury and comfort.
