Crafted playfulness meets inviting comfort in design from 1932
The seat of the ARCH chair is made with traditional paper cord weave. The interplay between the paper cord and the oak frame creates a harmonious balance between texture and form, further enhancing the chair’s appeal as a design classic. The legs of the chair are crafted from two solid oak beams steam bent into two arches. These arches not only provide stability to the chair but also serve as armrests. Additionally, they contribute as an important design element, beautifully balancing the overall composition of the lounge chair.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Magnus Læssøe Stephensen
To his contemporaries Magnus Læssøe Stephensen was known for his particular style. A warm functionalism with tentacles reaching both Bauhaus and Japanese arts and crafts. He had a flair for the Japanese and ancient take on simplicity, and combined that with local Nordic materials – and it is safe to say that his relentless versions and variations of chairs found their way into many homes, where they have survived for generations.
