The By Lassen black Saxe Chair is a folding chair with a timeless and characterful design
It was originally created in 1955 by Danish designer and architect Mogens Lassen for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Competition
The chair was originally made by master joiner A.J Iversen and is now being produced by Lassen to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its design.
The design of the chair is meticulously thought out down to the smallest detail, just as in Mogens Lassen's architecture
The chair features a strong, stretched leather seat that clings to the wood and creates an almost harmonious, organic form
The collapsible nature of the chair makes it perfect for accommodating an extra guest
The chair's minimalistic and simple expression make it ideal for both large and small quality-conscious homes
The seat of the chair is manufactured in core leather, which stretches to the limits of how big pieces of leather can be and is enhanced by the moulded, yet massive wooden legs
The beautiful fittings on the chair work almost as a piece of jewelry and clearly illustrate how only the finest materials were selected
In summary, the Saxe Chair is a classic example of aesthetics and functionality enhancing one another
