Note du spécialiste

Flemming Lassen proposed the design for the 'Tired Man' chair for the 1935 Annual Design Competition of the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild. The title of his proposal, "Furniture for a Bachelor's Pad" humorously indicates his target audience. He revised the design and began production in 1936, creating the a chair perfectly designed for leisure and comfort.
