Audo Copenhagen Brasilia Lounge Chair - High Back - Textile

The Audo Copenhagen Brasilia Lounge Chair brings together two distinct design philosophies - Scandinavian mid-century restraint and Brazilian modernism's bold expressiveness - into one genuinely comfortable piece of furniture. Designed by Norwegian duo Anderssen & Voll, this standard-back version sits at 82cm high with generous proportions at 96cm wide and 84cm deep, creating that perfect hybrid between an armchair and a full lounge chair. The solid wood frame showcases traditional joinery techniques with those distinctive rounded front legs and rectangular back legs that give it geometric interest, available in walnut, natural oak, or dark-stained oak. What sets it apart is that molded foam seat and backrest wrapped around a steel frame, upholstered in your choice of luxurious sheepskin, soft bouclé fabrics, or Dunes aniline leather that develops character over time. The exaggerated armrests aren't just design flourishes - they're positioned at 51cm high for actual comfort whether you're settling in with a book or just need somewhere your arms can rest naturally.

What makes the Brasilia work in real homes is how those bold proportions translate into unparalleled sitting comfort rather than just looking impressive in showrooms. The low seat height at 39cm combined with that angled backrest creates this embrace that adapts whether you're sitting upright for conversation or sinking in for a movie marathon. The robust construction means it handles daily use without feeling delicate - this is furniture meant to be lived in, not preserved. The combination of stout, sturdy legs and generous cushioning creates a sense of luxury and ease that works equally well as a reading chair in the corner or as a statement piece in the middle of your room. Pair it with the matching Brasilia Ottoman and you've got a proper lounging setup that becomes the spot everyone gravitates toward. Available in multiple upholstery options from natural sheepskin that varies beautifully in texture and color, to contemporary bouclé fabrics, to leather that ages gracefully. The relatively low backrest means it doesn't visually dominate spaces the way high-backed chairs can, making it surprisingly versatile for different room configurations.

Audo Copenhagen was formed by uniting MENU, by Lassen, and The Audo, creating a brand that draws from a century of Danish design tradition while maintaining a modern global outlook. Their collaboration with Anderssen & Voll - Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll who established their Oslo studio in 2009 - reflects their commitment to working with designers who share their philosophy. Winners of numerous international accolades including Wallpaper* Design Awards and Red Dot Awards, Anderssen & Voll create meticulously crafted designs imagined over coffee, sketched on paper, rendered on computers, and built into elaborate scale models refined to the last detail. Their approach aligns with Audo's belief that good design builds on tradition while breaking its rules, creating products that stimulate thought and reflection through modifications and elements of surprise, resulting in furniture that transcends trends while feeling distinctly contemporary.
