Fox outdoor armchair – Viggo Boesen

Sika Design has introduced a version of the Fox Chair in alu-rattan, specially designed for outdoor use. This brand-specific material consists of a strong aluminum frame woven with Artfibre. The material is maintenance free and can withstand all weather conditions.

In the 1930's, Viggo Boesen was one of the architect's who introduced the new villa type in "Funkis-style". Vigoo Boesen and Finn Juhl furnished the first apartment on "Sortedamsdossering" in Copenhagen, where his Fox easy chair made of rattan was displayed in the living room. From his workshop Viggo Boesen designed a number of rattan and upholsterey furniture, wich was constructed according to his philosophy: furniture should have an organic flow and embrace the body smoothly.

Viggo Boesen’s Fox lounge chair won the design competition, held by the Danish wicker-maker guild in 1936. His inspiring, imaginative designs made him unique, and put him among the designers of the “Danish golden age”. Fox easy chair is the first of many furniture pieces from this pioneer in organic furniture design.

Viggo Boesen

Viggo Boesen

Viggo Boesen is a relatively unknown architect who contributed significantly to the development of Danish design during the 1930s. His work reflects the Scandinavian "Funkis" style, a Nordic interpretation of Art Deco. Far from mass production and the less-is-more approach of the Bauhaus school of thought, Boesen is characterized by a soft, warm and almost naive design, which renewed the aesthetics of upholstered furniture. Only a few of his designs were produced, but his original ideas, organic forms and aesthetic vocabulary informed the designs of Danish Modernism for decades to come.
