The Tired Man Ottoman, Sheepskin

Designer Flemming Lassen

The Tired Man also known as "Den trætte mand" was launched at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1936 and has since become an icon of Danish design. The epitome of craftsmanship and comfort, the characteristically curved armchair was designed by Flemming Lassen to feel “as warm and snug as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother.” Relaunched in 2015, the award-winning design is offered in plush upholstery, including sheepskin in a nod to the original, and with natural or dark-oiled oak heartwood legs and front brass castors for easy movement. A corresponding footstool ensures further comfort. The Tired Man Ottoman is upholstered in Oeko-Tex® certified sheepskin from Skandilock.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Flemming Lassen

Credited for his role in bringing functionalism to Denmark, Flemming Lassen was an architect and designed noted for his exacting craftsmanship and naïve expression. Lassen drew much of his inspiration from the architect Mies van der Rohe and the tenets of the Bauhaus artistic movement —a less is more approach focused on form, function and novel materials counterbalanced with human needs. His original and distinctive designs with timeless silhouettes still resonate today.
