SAXE
~
When the visionary architect cum designer, Mogens Lassen, designed the
Saxe folding chair for The Cabinetmaker’s Guild Competition in 1955, it was
considered a bit too modern and audacious. Mogens Lassen was regarded
an enfant terrible and never left anything to chance, but paid attention to every
single detail, which is evident in this characterful and timeless chair. Today,
more than 60 years later, Saxe’s minimalistic and distinctive lines and the perfect
combination of leather, oak wood and brass detailing are regarded just as
modern – a true prime example of function uniting with aesthetics and quality.
For this season, Saxe is launched in an exclusive, limited edition of 100 chairs in
sealskin made in close collaboration with Kopenhagen Fur & Great Greenland.
