First designed in 1955 by Mogens Lassen for the Copenhagen Cabinetmaker’s Guild Competition, the Saxe Lounge Chair is a timeless chair that blends the convenience of a folding chair and the comfort of a lounge chair. The 1955 model of the chair was made by A.J. Iversen—a master joiner in midcentury Denmark. The Saxe has been reproduced to mark the 60th anniversary of its design, capturing the original appeal of the chair in oak and vegetable-tanned leather. With its slim silhouette and welcoming seat, the Saxe Lounge Chair can be used in a variety of interiors including cozy dens, home offices, and living rooms. The chair can be folded and stored when not in use. Photo 2 of 10 in New Designs at the Dwell Store by Marianne Colahan
