VLA76 Foyer Lounge Chair

The Foyer Chair is characterized by a unique interplay between oak wood and upholstery, and the armrests are hand-polished with the utmost care to avoid the appearance of noticeable transitions. Meticulously upholstered in leather, both the seat and backrest feature handmade buttons.

Vilhelm Theodor Lauritzen was one of Denmark’s most influential architects and founders of Danish Modernism. Today, many of his projects remain as lasting examples of a new and revolutionary approach to architecture in which form followed function. Throughout his career, he maintained that architecture should be an applied art that serves all, not just the privileged few. Among Lauritzen’s most famous and acclaimed works are Copenhagen Airport’s first terminal, which is now known as the Vilhelm Lauritzen Terminal, Radiohuset broadcasting building in Frederiksberg, Vega music venue in Copenhagen, and the Danish Embassy in Washington D.C.. He founded Tegnestuen Vilhelm Lauritzen, today Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, in 1922. Lauritzen’s talents extended to interior design. Over the course of his career, he created everything from door handles, ashtrays, and railings to lamps, sofas, and chairs.
