About the Item

A very rare lounge chair of model "Siesta" designed by Kai Bruun in the 1960s. The chair is newly reupholstered in our own upholstery workshop with moonlight sheepskin. The neckpillow is of original green wool. The Siesta easy chair, designed by Danish architect Kai Bruun in the early 1960s, embodies the essence of Scandinavian modernism. With its soft organic curves, sculptural teak frame, and inviting upholstery, the chair captures a refined balance between comfort and craftsmanship. Bruun’s design philosophy emphasized simplicity and natural materials, resulting in furniture that feels both timeless and approachable. The Siesta reflects a postwar optimism in Danish design — elegant yet functional, understated yet expressive. Today, it remains a sought-after piece for collectors who appreciate its harmony of form, texture, and quiet sophistication.
