PH LOUNGE CHAIR
Sled base leather armchair with headrest
PH Lounge Chair is an aniline leather armchair with headrest.
Seat available in 5 colours: walnut/Indian red/mocca/black/natural undyed.
Poul Henningsen designed in the 1930s 5 different, beautiful, functional and alternative chairs with a minimum of materials. His aim was to offer comfort and at the same time achieve aesthetic satisfaction, and in this way, he created 5 statement pieces: the PH Armchair, the PH Pope Chair, the PH Lounge Chair, the PH Chair and the PH Snake Chair.
Made with gently curved tubular steel legs, each of the chairs invites contemplation and lush relaxation in their leather or Hallingdal seats. Quality materials make these chairs an elegant design piece that will last for generations.
The PH Lounge Chair's frame is made of a single long steel tube that has been bent into generous, dynamic lines for maximum comfort. The two concave circles where the steel tubes touch the floor provide a beautiful appearance that is unlike any other tubular steel furniture. The lounge chair's generously upholstered seat and ergonomic line ensure comfort and excellent back support.
In 1932, Poul Henningsen presented eight tubular steel furniture designs at the Danish Fair for Industrial Design and Products. Bold, elegant and radically modern, the pieces stood apart from the wood furniture that defined the time. Although they drew attention in the Danish press, the collection never entered serial production. The market was not yet ready for such avant-garde designs, and the technology of the 1930s could not fully realize their complexity. Their curved forms and innovative construction were simply too advanced for the period. Only today has it become possible to reproduce them with the precision they require. After years of research, development and the search for the right craftsmanship, the collection has finally been brought to life. Each piece is produced in full respect of PH’s original vision and proportions. The result is a collection that still feels strikingly contemporary almost a century later. Functional yet sculptural, these works stand as timeless design pieces made for daily use and lasting value.
