The &Tradition Little Petra VB1 Chair in Honey 50mm Sheepskin by Viggo Boesen is a wonderfully tactile lounge chair with a soft, enveloping shape and surprisingly compact footprint.
Its generous curves and low profile make it an inviting place to settle into, while the rich Honey sheepskin gives the chair an especially warm and luxurious feel.
Little Petra was originally designed in 1938 and is one of Viggo Boesen’s few surviving furniture designs. Its rounded, organic form reflects the softer side of Danish ‘funkis’ design, moving away from the strict geometry of modernism towards furniture that feels more expressive, comfortable and welcoming. This version is upholstered in long-pile 50mm Honey sheepskin, adding depth and texture to the chair’s generously padded form. The natural upholstery is complemented by your choice of oak or walnut legs, while the carefully considered proportions allow for a relaxed range of seating positions. A beautiful choice for a living room, bedroom or quiet reading space.

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.
