~ Since Flemming Lassen designed the overstuffed easy chair, The Tired Man, for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition in 1935, it has become an icon. The chair is the epitome of cosiness with its chubby, organic curves and beauty doesn’t come in any better form. Sitting in the chair should, in Flemming Lassen’s own words, be “as warm and safe as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother in the middle of the ice cap”.
