The &Tradition Petra VB3 Lounge Chair with Footstool is the larger, more generously proportioned companion to Viggo Boesen’s celebrated Little Petra.
With its high winged back, generous upholstery and embracing shape, Petra is designed to offer a wonderfully comfortable place to relax.
Originally conceived by Boesen in 1938, the Petra takes the characteristic softness of his design language and gives it a more substantial presence. The high back and enveloping sides create a sense of privacy and comfort, while the carefully developed seat and upholstery ensure that the chair feels as good as it looks. The name Petra comes from Boesen’s mother-in-law, who was described as a small woman with a big personality. That idea of a strong character is reflected in the chair’s bold proportions and distinctive silhouette.
The natural oak or walnut legs add warmth beneath the generous upholstered form, while the matching footstool allows you to stretch out and relax in complete comfort.
Materials: Oak or Walnut wooden base, HR foam, polyester wadding. A choice of upholstery including a range of sheepskin finishes or Dedar Karakorum (42% wool, 33% viscose, 24% cotton, 1% nylon) fabric

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.
