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.

Shop Brand >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.
