Audo Copenhagen
The Tired Man Armchair
Price starting from € 5,263.00*
*Price valid for the version with upholstery in fabric cat. 0 and feet in natural oak (cod. 71134).
First presented in 1936, The Tired Man armchair is now a true icon of Danish design. Designed to embrace the body and cradle it in a true embrace, this piece of furniture draws inspiration from the size and fur of large Nordic mammals, such as polar bears, that use their mass to protect themselves from the cold. Its shape is therefore quite stocky and gentle, designed to adapt to the body and offer a warm bed. Even the upholstery is chosen to enhance the seating experience, creating a true corner of paradise in living rooms, reading rooms, studies, reception areas, and much more, depending on whether the setting is residential or public.

Designed by
Flemming Lassen
Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was a Danish architect and designer, an exponent of Scandinavian Modernism. Lassen's work is considered one of the first to incorporate the minimalist innovations of the Bauhaus into Denmark, adapted to local tastes that favored a more welcoming and human-scale touch. His brother Mogens Lassen was also an important architect of Modernism, but their careers would have few crossovers. Flemming Lassen's work is instead closely linked to that of another great Danish designer, Arne Jacobsen, in collaboration with whom he designed a project for a "House of the Future" in 1929, which would be awarded a prize by the Association of Danish Architects. This project, equipped with comforts that were futuristic for the time, such as a garage, a private pier and a heliport, would later be built in full size for an exhibition and would bring great fame to the two young architects, who would open a studio together in 1930. Another important shared project was the Søllerød Town Hall (completed 1942), while it was the collaboration with architect Erik Møller that earned him the prestigious Eckersberg medal for the Nyborg Library project (1940). Later, his work would specialize in libraries and cultural centers, especially from the 1960s onwards. Flemming Lassen also designed several pieces of furniture between the 1930s and 1940s, whose gently curved shapes are still fresh and current today. All of Flemming Lassen's creations are re-proposed by the Audo Copenhagen brand.Read more
