The iconic My Own Lounge Chair, designed by Danish master Flemming Lassen for Audo Copenhagen, stands as a testament to visionary mid-century Danish design that transcends time. Originally conceived in 1938 and exhibited at The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition, this sculptural masterpiece garnered immediate acclaim for its distinctive winged silhouette and exceptional comfort—yet remained a singular creation until contemporary production techniques caught up with Lassen’s ambitious vision.
Crafted with the exacting standards that define Scandinavian luxury furniture, the My Own Lounge Chair features meticulously selected solid oak or walnut framing that provides both stability and organic warmth to any living space, home library, or executive office. The chair’s ergonomic genius reveals itself in its lumbar-supportive, angled seat and extended backrest that envelops the sitter in a cocoon of comfort, making it an ideal centerpiece for contemporary living rooms or sophisticated reading nooks.
As an authentic expression of Danish functionalism, the chair reflects Lassen’s inspiration from Mies van der Rohe and Bauhaus principles—balancing minimalist aesthetics with human-centered design. The chair’s expert upholstery executes Lassen’s “less is more” philosophy while maintaining sumptuous comfort that invites extended relaxation. The optional matching footrest completes this mid-century modern seating ensemble, creating the perfect sanctuary for unwinding after a long day.
This heirloom-quality lounge chair carries profound historical significance—it remained Lassen’s personal favorite, gracing his own home until his death in 1984. Now meticulously reintroduced by Audo Copenhagen in celebration of its 80th anniversary, the My Own Lounge Chair offers today’s discerning design collectors and luxury furniture connoisseurs the rare opportunity to experience Flemming Lassen’s groundbreaking vision and naïve expression that helped define Danish modernism.
