Vintage Danish ‘Embassy’ Lounge Chair in Teal Wool by Otto Larsen for Soborg Mobelfabrik

Designed by Otto H Larsen for Søborg Møbler, a highly reputable and long-established Danish fine furniture maker who collaborated with many of the leading midcentury designers of the day from Borge Mogensen to Christian Hvidt. This was the ‘Embassy’ model, a boxy, indulgent lounge chair defined by the straight lines and angles of its mahogany frame. With generous proportions and a profile that’s dramatic from every angle, it’s a chair that everyone will be fighting for sitting rights over! Expertly crafted, just savour the joints at its four corners. The original wool upholstery is a weave of blue and green to create a striking teal that’s in fantastic, bright order throughout. A brutalist beauty, this is a statement chair.
