Flemming Lassen designed the overstuffed easy chair, The Tired Man, for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Competition in 1935. It is characterized by organic, bearlike shapes and originally created a sensation with its curved form and voluminous armrests. Sitting in the chair should, in Lassen's own words, feel "as warm and safe as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother in the middle of the ice caps." With its warm Honey Sheepskin exterior, The Tired Man invokes domestic coziness and socializing by candlelight.
