MOGENS HANSEN, Denmark 1980s

Danish furniture from the 1980s rarely gets the credit it deserves — the decade tends to be overshadowed by the golden era of the 1950s and 60s — but pieces like this make the case quietly and effectively. The Siesta lounge chair by Mogens Hansen has everything a well-made Danish chair should: a frame in warm blond beech, black leather seating that remains in exceptional condition, and proportions that are generous without being heavy. At 105 centimetres tall it has real presence in a room. The kind of chair that gets noticed, then gets sat in and never vacated.

Available and priced individually.
