scandinavian design lounge chairs

As a specialist in Nordic design, Scandinavia Design invites you to discover the most beautiful Scandinavian lounge chairs signed by the greatest designers. 

To facilitate your exploration, we've divided them into 4 categories: wood-leg armchairs, metal-leg armchairs, rocking chairs and chaise longues, and unclassifiable armchairs.

In the furniture typology, it is undoubtedly the armchair that is most linked to pleasure: that of the user, who settles in to enjoy the present, and that of the designer, who frees himself from the utilitarian constraints of tables, chairs or sideboards.
In the typology of furniture, it is undoubtedly the armchair that is most linked to pleasure: that of the user, who settles in to enjoy the present, and that of the designer, who frees himself from the utilitarian constraints of thinking about tables, chairs or sideboards. This status allows the designer armchair to concentrate the greatest creativity, but also the greatest luxury, since it often only takes one or two to furnish a living room.

So it's hardly surprising that Scandinavian design is so rich in exceptional armchairs, “pieces” that we dream of treating ourselves to, icons with spectacular forms, such as Arne Jacobsen's famous Egg, Alvar Aalto's Tank, Finn Juhl's Pelican, Hans Wegner's Flag Halyard Chair, Børge Mogensen's Spanish Chair - and so many other masterpieces that we'd all like to be able to bring home with us.

These Scandinavian pieces of furniture, which left their mark on the history of design, have a long line of descendants, from the famous Eames Lounge by the Americans Charles and Ray Eames, which takes up the principle of molded plywood developed by Alvar Aalto and Arne Jacobsen, to contemporary works that are openly inspired by them.
