Spec Sheet

Description

All eyes were on Little Petra at the 1938 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition. Nearly a century later, architect Viggo Boesen's iconic lounge chair has morphed into a beautifully crafted 2-seater sofa. Low to the ground on shapely legs crafted in solid oak or walnut, its embracing curves are clad in hand-stitched fabric upholstery—or the primal luxury of natural sheepskin. One of only a handful of Boesen’s designs, Little Petra is a prime example of his organic "funkis" style, a reaction to the stark angularity of the Bauhaus movement.

&Tradition

Design is never static. When Copenhagen-based &Tradition was established in 2010, founder Martin Kornbek Hansen's mission was to produce work that was defined by a unique vision, whether it came from Danish legends of the past or young innovators of the future. The roster extends from timeless luminaries such as Verner Panton and Arne Jacobsen to current leading lights Samuel Wilkinson and Norm.Architects to exciting new names Mia Hamborg and Victor Vetterlein. As the company's Kornbek Hansen puts it: "We see a kinship between the old masters, who were avant-garde in their time, and new designers creating the ground-breaking icons of today."

With its library of furniture and lighting extending from the 1930s to the present day, the firm is uniquely positioned to carry on the Nordic tradition of unstinting craftsmanship and adroit use of materials. Nonetheless, &Tradition sees its future in global terms, handpicking design talent and production facilities internationally in an effort to continually produce relevant product and engage a new generation of conscious consumers.
