The &Tradition Little Petra VB1 Chair and Footstool brings a relaxed, inviting character to a living space.
Designed by Viggo Boesen in 1938, Little Petra was recognised early on for its distinctive approach to Scandinavian design, favouring soft contours and generous upholstery over rigid, minimalist forms. Its compact proportions and low, embracing shape make it an ideal choice for a reading corner or a quiet place to unwind.
Upholstered in Dedar Karakorum 003, a tactile bouclé fabric inspired by astrakhan fur, the chair has a rich, textured finish. Solid oak or walnut legs provide a natural contrast to the soft upholstery, while the matching footstool offers extra comfort when putting your feet up. Despite its generous appearance, Little Petra is surprisingly petite and can sit comfortably in a range of interiors. This chair-and-footstool pairing combines expressive 1930s design with everyday comfort, creating a welcoming spot to relax.

Viggo Boesen is a relatively little known architect who contributed to Denmark’s signature design aesthetic in the 1930s. In particular, his work reflected Scandinavian ‘Funkis’ style, a Nordic take on Art Deco. In contrast to mass-produced materials and the less-is-more approach from the Bauhaus school of thought, Boesen brought a soft, warm and almost naive aspect to design, ushering in new forms of upholstered furniture. Only a few of his designs were ever produced, yet Boesen’s original ideas, organic shapes and expressive design lingo were precursors to Denmark’s subsequent stance on modernism in the decades that followed.
