Petra VB3 Lounge Chair- Vidar554 Fabric Kvadrat & Walnut- by Viggo Boesen for &T

About the Item

Based on an original design by Danish designer Viggo Boesen in 1938, Petra is a lounge chair with a high-set, winged-backrest and unparalleled comfort. The Petra lounge chair follows the great success of Little Petra, named after Boesen’s mother-in-law, Petra – said to be a small woman with a big personality, her presence is felt in the embracing body of the armchair’s design. Petra now carries the same bold character and aesthetic but in a larger form. Dimensions : W: 80cm / 32in, D:91cm / 36in, H: 99cm / 39in Seat H: 40cm / 16in, Seat D: 53cm / 21in, Armrest H: 51cm / 20in Weight 26.5 kg Materials: Vidar 554 Kvadrat, Oiled Walnut Production Process The frame is made from solid beech and plywood and subsequently covered in HR foam and polyester wadding. The solid wood legs are turned and CNC milled. Designer Viggo Boesen is a relatively little known architect who contributed to Denmark’s signature design aesthetic in the 1930s. In particular, his work reflected Scandinavian ‘Funkis’ style, a Nordic take on Art Deco. In contrast to massproduced materials and the less-is-more approach from the Bauhaus school of thought, Boesen brought a soft, warm and almost naive aspect to design, ushering in new forms of upholstered furniture. Only a few of his designs were ever produced, yet Boesen’s original ideas, organic shapes and expressive design lingo were precursors to Denmark’s subsequent stance on modernism in the decades that followed. Little Petra is 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. Distinguished by a softer, more abundant, organic aesthetic that challenged the minimalistic approach of Bauhaus.
