THE HOT SEAT

If ever there was a way to ward off winter, Fredrik A Kayser’s ‘Fluffy Lounge Chair’ is it. Designed in 1954, its sloping carved wooden armrests lure sitters into its welcoming embrace, while Norwegian sheepskin provides irresistible cosiness. The chair has been rescued from obscurity by Eikund, the Norwegian brand on a mission to uncover the forgotten design icons of its homeland.
