BY FLEMMING LASSEN 1935

THE TIRED MAN

Since Flemming Lassen designed the overstuffed easy chair,

The Tired Man, for the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild

Competition in 1935, it has become an icon.

The chair is the epitome of cosiness with its chubby, organic curves. Beauty doesn’t come in a better form.

Sitting in the chair should, in Flemming Lassen’s own words, be ‘as warm and safe as a polar bear cub in the

arms of its mother in the middle of the ice cap’.
