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.

Little Petra is surprisingly petite, able to fit into all kinds of spaces, interiors and environments.

About the Designer: Viggo Boesen

A 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.

In contrast to mass-produced materials and the less-is-more approach derived from the Bauhaus school of thought, Boesen brought a soft, warm and profoundly intuitive attitude to design. Only a few of his designs were produced, yet Boesen’s original ideas, organic shapes and expressive design rhetoric were precursors to Denmark’s subsequent stance on modernism in the decades that followed.
