The "forgotten" Danish Designer Viggo Boesen is the man behind this very beautifull and eyecathing lounge chair.
The chair was originally made of rattan, as you can see in our Icons collection. Now we have also chosen to make it aluminium, so it can withstand the changes of the weather year round.

“UNKNOWN ARTISAN”
Viggo Boesen
Was trained as an architect, and in the 1930’s he was one of the architect’s, who introduced the new villa type in “Funkis-style” which was popular with a wider audience.
Together with Finn Juhl he furnished the first apartment on “Sortedamsdosseringen” in Copenhagen, where his easy chair made of rattan was displayed in the living room.
From his workshop he designed a number of pieces of rattan and upholstery furniture, which were constructed according to his philosophy. Furniture whould have an organic flow and embrace the body smoothly and tenderly. It should be a delight to the eye, but also be solid and durable.
Viggo Boesen designed a number of pieces of modernist profiled wicker furniture, which were based on the strength and durability of rattan.
Viggo Boesen’s FOX lounge chair won the design competition, that the Danish wicker-maker guild held in 1936. His inspiring, imaginative designs made him unique, and put him among the designers of the “Danish golden age”.
