The &Tradition Little Petra Lounge Chair is a wonderfully inviting piece of Danish design, originally introduced in 1938 by architect Viggo Boesen.
First shown at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition, it quickly won praise and went on to receive awards in New York and Berlin.
Despite its generous, embracing shape, Little Petra is surprisingly compact, making it easy to place in bedrooms, living rooms, reading corners and cosy spaces. Its low position and soft, organic form encourage a relaxed way of sitting, while the carefully considered upholstery provides exceptional comfort from every angle. This version comes with a matching footstool, giving you the perfect place to put your feet up and settle in.
The chair’s natural character is completed by beautifully crafted oak or walnut legs, reflecting Boesen’s appreciation of honest materials. A true Danish design classic, Little Petra combines its distinctive 1930s character with the kind of comfort you’ll want to enjoy every day. Read more about Little Petra, its history and design.

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.
