Description & details
The NORR11 Hippo Lounge Chair holds a deep, rounded seat and back inside a hard-lined oak frame, an intentional contrast between soft upholstery and exposed wood. The connecting oak profile stays visible between seat and backrest, and the seat itself is built from a plywood-and-pine frame with foam hand-cut to hold that rounded curve. Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl designed the chair in 2021 as part of NORR11's Hippo collection, named for the way its rounded back view recalls a hippopotamus.

Care guide
We recommend avoiding placing furniture in direct sunlight or next to strong heat sources, as this can cause fabrics to discolor.
Day-to-day cleaning:
- We recommend regular cleaning to keep the fabric looking its best and prolong its life. Vacuum gently with a small brush attachment or use an upholstery brush.
- For more pronounced stains, please refer to a specialist cleaner.
