The Tired Man Lounge Chair

Textile

The Everyday Icons edition of The Tired Man Lounge Chair thoughtfully reinterprets a beloved Danish design. Its generous proportions are refreshed with modern upholstery and finishes, adding a new chapter to the rich legacy of this 1930s icon.

Originally designed in 1935 by Flemming Lassen and first unveiled at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition that same year, The Tired Man is distinguished by its sculptural, streamlined form and inviting winged backrest. While emblematic of 1930s aesthetics, the voluminous yet minimalist chair remains a celebrated Danish design icon 90 years after its conception — an heirloom cherished across generations.

Walnut

Please note: as each sample is crafted from natural wood, variations in colour and grain are to be expected. An oil finish enhances the characteristics of solid walnut, bringing out the depth and warmth of the wood while helping to repel moisture and dust to contribute to the longevity of the furniture. A reapplication of oil can often remove minor imperfections to rejuvenate the appearance.

MEET THE DESIGNER

Flemming Lassen

Credited for his role in bringing functionalism to Denmark, Flemming Lassen was an architect and designed noted for his exacting craftsmanship and naïve expression. Lassen drew much of his inspiration from the architect Mies van der Rohe and the tenets of the Bauhaus artistic movement —a less is more approach focused on form, function and novel materials counterbalanced with human needs. His original and distinctive designs with timeless silhouettes still resonate today.
