Know before you buy
The chair measures 32.09 inches wide, 28.74 inches deep, and 27.36 inches high. Its generous width makes it a substantial piece, so ensure you have enough clearance in your floor plan for its wide, curved profile.
The back and armrests are designed as a single, continuous element. This curved, integrated structure provides a supportive, wraparound feel that encourages a relaxed posture.
The solid wood frame is available in several oak finishes, including lacquered, oiled, and smoke-stained, as well as a black lacquered option and a walnut lacquered finish.
You can tailor the chair to your interior through a wide selection of materials, including five distinct fabric groups and four leather groups.
While it features an ample, spacious seat, its design is intended for intimate settings. Its low-profile silhouette prevents it from feeling visually heavy, making it a good fit for reading nooks or smaller living areas.
Each chair is crafted in Denmark, adhering to the high-quality standards associated with Fredericia’s long-standing tradition of Danish furniture design.
