About the Item

An exceptionally rare and sculptural Danish lounge chair designed by celebrated architect and designer Viggo Boesen and produced by Slagelse Møbelværk in the 1940s. Model no. 107 exemplifies Boesen’s signature “funkis” interpretation of Scandinavian Modernism—soft, organic forms combined with playful yet sophisticated proportions. The chair features a deeply curved, enveloping backrest with elegantly rounded armrests in stained beech, creating a warm contrast against the richly textured dark blue upholstery. Delicate contrasting piping accentuates the fluid silhouette, while the subtly tapered legs and generous seat provide both visual lightness and remarkable comfort. Boesen’s work from this period is highly sought after for its expressive forms that bridge Art Deco softness and early Scandinavian Modern design. This example retains a strong original character and presents beautifully from all angles, making it ideal as a statement lounge chair in both modern and historic interiors. Notice that this chair retains original upholstery and never has been restored. Reupholstery and refinishing recommended. Let us know if you want our skilled craftsmen to do this and we will discuss details.
