Mogens Lassen’s Saxe Chair is a tried-and-true example of how aesthetics and function go hand in hand.
Despite being regarded as a rebel, Mogens Lassen aimed for perfection in each of his design projects. His eye for detail, leaving nothing to chance, and his determination to break new ground are visible on his timeless Saxe Lounge Chair.
The leather seat puts the natural material to the test, stretched to perfection across the solid wood frame. The technique was in its early days when the chair was first made in the mid-1900s.
Beautiful polished brass fittings underpin the handcrafted feel and add a further sense of luxury to the design.
Considered one of Denmark’s greatest and most influential architects, Mogens Lassen pioneered Danish Functionalism, taking his cues from Bauhaus sensibilities.
His interior designs are a natural continuation of his architectural approach and add energy and atmosphere to everyday living spaces and tasks.
From decorative objects to larger furniture designs, his designs delicately balance presence without drawing undue attention, finding their natural place in any space.
Audo Copenhagen is born of collaborative spirit. Developed from uniting MENU, The Audo and by Lassen, Audo Copenhagen reflects both a century of Danish design tradition and a modern, global outlook that is continually expanding and evolving. The furniture, lighting and interior accessories are shaped by purposeful details, high-quality materials and human needs.
Audo Copenhagen’s aesthetic philosophy has been coined soft minimalism, characterised by clean lines, calm, subtle strength, earth tones and nature’s materials crafted with utmost respect. Soft minimalism promotes creative contemplation and harmony. It adapts to diverse architectural styles and is appropriate for both residential and commercial use, and it’s timeless meaning Audo pieces can be used for decades to come and move to new homes and into new, creative chapters of life.
