Product Description
The &Tradition Little Petra VB1 Lounge Chair represents a pivotal moment in Scandinavian design history, where the rigid minimalism of Bauhaus met the softer, more organic forms of Danish 'funkis' style. First unveiled in 1938 by architect Viggo Boesen, this award-winning design garnered immediate acclaim at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition before winning international recognition in New York and Berlin.
Despite its surprisingly compact proportions (81cm wide x 83cm deep x 75cm high), the Little Petra offers exceptional versatility in seating positions. Its low-slung profile and embracing form create an inviting sanctuary that adapts to various relaxation styles. The chair's innovative design features a meticulously crafted frame of solid beech and plywood, enhanced with high-resilience foam and polyester wadding to ensure supreme comfort.
Each Little Petra showcases outstanding contemporary craftsmanship while honoring Boesen's original vision. The turned and CNC-milled legs, available in premium oiled oak or walnut, are fitted with felt gliders for floor protection. The chair's upholstery options span from sophisticated fabrics to luxurious sheepskin, allowing for personalization while maintaining the design's distinctive character.
As one of only a handful of pieces created by Boesen, the Little Petra stands as a testament to Danish funkis style, challenging Bauhaus minimalism with its abundant, organic aesthetic. Named affectionately after the designer's mother-in-law, this endearing chair continues to exemplify the perfect balance between architectural innovation and intimate comfort.
