&Tradition Little Petra lounge chair and pouf

Description

&Tradition’s Little Petra lounge chair and pouf charm with their compact size, flowing silhouette and soft sheepskin upholstery. The petite, friendly chair and pouf are a lovable example of the Danish funkis style of the 1930s.

Designed by the Danish architect Viggo Boesen and named after his mother-in-law, Little Petra was first introduced at Copenhagen Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition in 1938. As only a small number of chairs was manufactured at the time, it became a sought-after piece only available at auctions. Nowadays Little Petra belongs to &Tradition's assortment and can be enjoyed by all design enthusiasts around the globe.

Viggo Boesen Was trained as an architect, and in the 1930's he was one of the architects, 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 would 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.
