Flemming Lassen designed The Tired Man for the Copenhagen Carpenters’ Guild Exhibition in 1935. The characteristically voluminous armchair was reissued in 2014 and has since become an icon of Danish design. With numerous awards for its enveloping comfort and timeless shape, it has attracted the admiration of generations of design lovers. One of a few original pieces was sold for a record sum at auction in Denmark in 2014, proving the enduring relevance of the Danish designer’s work.

Lassen wanted the armchair to feel “as warm and safe as a polar bear cub in its mother’s arms”. Therefore, the deep seat, inviting backrest and curved armrests were carefully upholstered in sheepskin to realize his vision. Today, The Tired Man is once again offered in this luxurious material as well as a selection of high-quality upholstery fabrics. Natural or dark stained oak legs and front brass castors for easy movement complete the design, while a matching stool provides additional comfort.
