The Danish architect, furniture designer and artist is known for his distinctive, powerful designs in solid wood, today associated with Scandinavian Brutalism. Lounge chairs by this designer rarely appear on the vintage market.

The frame is crafted from solid oak and follows a clear, additive construction principle: the armrests are made of horizontal boards, the supporting structure of vertical boards, while the backrest is formed by upright slats. The result is a powerful, architectural design language in which every component remains visible and contributes to the overall effect – finely crafted, yet deliberately archaic in form.

The loose seat and back cushions are made of thick, reddish-brown leather. Generously filled with foam, they offer outstanding comfort, while the warm leather creates a beautiful contrast to the light oak – the perfect reading corner.

A second, identical lounge chair, a matching ottoman and the large coffee table from the same Tage Poulsen series are also available. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
