The &Tradition Little Petra VB2 Sofa in Karakorum by Viggo Boesen is a compact, beautifully enveloping sofa with a wonderfully soft and tactile feel.
Its generous curves and low profile give it the inviting character of the original Little Petra lounge chair, while the 150cm width provides comfortable seating for two.
First designed in 1938, Little Petra is one of Viggo Boesen’s few surviving designs and a distinctive expression of the softer, organic side of Danish ‘funkis style’. The VB2 retains the chair’s characteristic embracing form, creating a sofa that feels generous and cosy without dominating the room. This version is upholstered in Karakorum 003, a soft and substantial bouclé wool and viscose fabric inspired by the appearance of precious astrakhan fur.
The tactile upholstery is complemented by walnut or white-oiled oak legs, adding warmth and natural character. With its combination of exceptional comfort, compact proportions and iconic Danish design, the Little Petra VB2 makes a beautiful choice for a more intimate living space.
Materials: Karakorum 003 Fabric (bouclé wool and viscose fabric, inspired by precious astrakhan fur. Comfortable and bulky with a soft hand-feel). Wood, HR foam, polyester wadding, Walnut or White oiled Oak wood legs
Dimensions: Height - 75cm x Depth - 80cm x Length - 150cm (Seat height: 40cm//Seating depth: 55cm)
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.
