SAXE
LIMITED EDITION
~
The result of the creative pairing with Kopenhagen Fur and Great Greenland is
a strong, cosy and wonderfully beautiful lounge chair that combines quality and
luxury. Mogens Lassen’s classic Saxe chair dates back to 1955, when it was
created in full-grain leather, oak and brass as a pure example of the architect’s
special sense for detail and material composition. All sealskins from Greenland
are sold exclusively through Kopenhagen Fur and originate from animals that
have lived well in the wild. Seal hunting has been a integral part of Greenlandic
culture for more than a 1,000 years, and still contributes to a sustainable tradition
today, in which nothing from the animal is wasted. The chief purpose for hunting
seals is as a source of food for Greenland’s families and dogs, while the skin,
whose pattern is particularly beautiful, is often used in the design of both furniture
and fashion.
