Gesture Lounge Chair
Now the characteristic Gesture design from the '50s is also available as a sculptural lounge chair. Behind the popular form-stressed design is the renowned Danish architect Hans Olsen, who created both a dining table chair and a lounge chair based on the same basic principle.
With its welcoming design and light, playful expression, the Gesture Lounge Chair is as aesthetically pleasing as it is a comfortable addition to the living room. The armrests invite you to sit down and find peace in the form-fitting design, where padding on both the back and seat ensures optimal comfort.
The lounge chair is a complete design piece of furniture, which is complemented by classic woods and colour tones. Choose between quality leather and several different exclusive textiles from the Warm Nordic universe. The frame is available in several types of wood and different surface treatments.
– Oak or teak
– Textile, leather or sheepskin
– Available in a range of stains, coloured finishes and designer textile options
The Lounge Chair is part of a wider Gesture series. The Surf Board Coffee Table goes well with this chair to create a relaxing and timeless living space.
