Designed in 1956 by iconic Scandinavian furniture designer Hans Olsen, this version of the Fried Egg Lounge Chair is upholstered in fabric from Danish textile giants Kvadrat. With its design rooted in Danish modernism, this spacious yet comforting lounge chair was playfully christened 'Fried Egg' because of its appearance from above.
Hans Olsen was a Danish furniture designer born in 1919. He began his career as a cabinetmaker, but, at the age of thirty, he decided to attend the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, where he studied architecture under esteemed architect-designer Kaare Klint. Olsens' remarkable designs from the 1950s are vivid examples of the beautiful diversity of Danish Modernism. His Fried Egg chair for Warm Nordic is a true Design Classic.
