Flemming Lassen designed the overstuffed easy chair, The Tired Man, for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Competition in 1935. It is characterized by organic, bearlike shapes and then as now it created a sensation with its curved form and voluminous armrests. 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 caps". The family man Flemming Lassen valued intimate relationships - with its warm exterior, The Tired Man invokes domestic coziness and socializing by candlelight.

Flemming Lassen

Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was a Danish architect and one of the pioneers of Danish functionalism. He is best known for his buildings designed in collaboration with Arne Jacobsen as well as his internationally renowned furniture, some of which have been relaunched by the design company By Lassen founded by Lassen’s relatives. Flemming’s international breakthrough came at the end of 1920s when he won a competition with his design for the House of the Future created in collaboration with Arne Jacobsen. The two continued their partnership also later in their careers.
