TMBO Collection

Magnus Læssøe Stephensen, 1935

1935 is the date on the first draft of this chair by the renowned multi-talent and architect Magnus Læssøe Stephensen, which has now been revived under the name TMBO. 

Designed by Danish architect Magnus Læssøe Stephensen (1903-1984)

The TMBO Lounge chair was initially designed for the Copenhagen department store Magasin du Nord in Copenhagen. Magnus Læssøe Stephensen arranged a modern furnishing of a 2-room apartment with everything from tables and chairs to carpets.

 My grandfather deliberately drew TMBO and WNG chair so you can sit in various ways. The backrest is designed with the purpose to support your back even in a rotated position and at the same time use the ‘ears’ to rest your arms on.
