The Tired Man Lounge Chair

The Tired Man is among the most significant pieces in the collection — a 1935 design that helped set the course of Danish furniture rather than follow it. It is a chair built for one thing, done completely: deep, enveloping, full-body rest, the sitter cradled at the back, sides, and arms at once. The fully sheepskin option is the chair as Lassen first conceived it, and the brass front casters are a genuine working detail, letting a heavy chair be repositioned without lifting. KANSO is an authorized Audo Copenhagen retailer, so every Tired Man is sourced directly from the brand and covered by its ten-year warranty. For a buyer who wants a documented piece of design history and the most comfortable chair in the room, it is a considered choice rather than an impulse one.

From Logan textile to full sheepskin

The Tired Man is a fully upholstered chair — there is no exposed frame — so the upholstery is most of what the eye and hand meet. Underneath, the construction is substantial: a plywood, steel, webbing and belt frame, a seat built on pocket springs and layered foam, and double-layer foam with foam-flex reinforcement through the back and arms. The legs are solid oak heartwood, the denser inner growth of the tree, more stable against moisture movement over decades of use, with solid brass casters on the front pair. The upholstery sets the range. Logan and Baru are textile options, Baru the more textured of the two. Natural sheepskin is the top of the range and a nod to the original — it covers the chair entirely and varies in pile, tone, and thickness across the hide, so no two are quite alike. The oak is offered in natural or smoked, specified separately from the upholstery.
