The Lean Back lounge chair, designed by Arne Hovmand-Olsen in 1957, is a Danish design classic that has been re-released by Warm Nordic. Lean Back got its name from the relaxed shape of the backrest that invites you to sit down and lean back. The flowingly shaped wooden chair is a fine example of Arne Hovmand-Olsen’s love for top-quality materials and airy design. Thanks to its lightweight structure and harmonic appearance from front to back, Lean Back will find its place either by the wall or at the centre of the room.
