The Let™ Lounge Chair by Sebastian Herkner and Fritz Hansen embodies the German designer’s excellent skills and signature aesthetic, with Fritz Hansen’s expert craftsmanship and quality. It is designed for a wide variety of expressions and interior styles and is suitable for commercial projects or residential use.
‘I like the character of the armrest which is spreading its wings in an inviting gesture. The general idea is about lightness and comfort. The chair becomes an oasis to relax. Light and precise, comfy and communicative, ’ Herkner explains.
The chair is Sebastian´s first design in collaboration with Fritz Hansen. It comes fully upholstered in textile or leather. Bases are available in powder coated steel, classic chrome, or wooden legs in oak, natural ash, and black coloured ash. The possibilities are truly endless. ‘The curved back of this chair is designed to cradle and comfort,’ says Christian Andresen, Fritz Hansen’s Head of Design. ‘This is an excellent design alone or arranged in groups for socializing.’
The chair is made without glue, thus making steam cleaning possible for high-use settings such as corporate waiting areas, hospitality sites, and hotel guestrooms.
The Let™ lounge chair is a new addition to a recognised collection of lounge chairs from Fritz Hansen, including Arne Jacobsen´s Egg™ and Poul Kjærholm’s PK22™.
Let™ lounge chair will be in stores from October 2020.
