The Tired Man Footstool

Description

Eyeing utter relaxation, designer Flemming Lassen designed a companion footstool to accompany his overstuffed easy chair for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild competition in 1935. The Tired Man created a sensation with its organic curves and voluminous armrests in genuine sheepskin that the designer said was “as warm and safe as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother.” Now available in a range of stock fabrics as well, the matching footstool makes for the last word in cozy comfort.
