F Chair, now in Burgundy
read

The F Chair by Rasmus Bækkel is now available in a rich Burgundy Lacquer finish, bringing a deeper, more expressive character to its pared-back Shaker-inspired form.

Developed in collaboration with colourist Margrethe Odgaard, the burgundy sits somewhere between wine and earth — deep and grounded, without feeling overly warm. Against the natural paper cord seat, the darker oak frame creates a beautiful contrast between colour, texture and craft.

Designed as a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Shaker chair, the F Chair combines a finely resolved solid oak frame with a handwoven seat. The new Burgundy finish joins oiled oak, fumed oak and black lacquered oak as part of Brdr. Krüger’s permanent collection.

Available versions

F Chair with and without armrests
Burgundy lacquer / natural paper cord
Burgundy lacquer / black polyester webbing

Order The Tired Man Lounge Chair in sheepskin and receive a complimentary ottoman.

Designed by Flemming Lassen in 1935, The Tired Man Lounge Chair has become one of the enduring icons of Danish design.

To celebrate its 90th anniversary, Audo Copenhagen is offering a complimentary Tired Man Ottoman with every Tired Man Lounge Chair ordered in sheepskin before 31 October 2026.

Generous, sculptural and enveloping, The Tired Man was designed around the idea of exceptional comfort. Today, its distinctive form is available in a beautiful palette of Skandilock sheepskins:

Available in Skandilock Off White, Sahara, Moonlight, Honey, Espresso and Green Tea sheepskin.

Choose natural oak or dark stained oak legs, and if you feel like doing something a little different, the lounge chair and ottoman can be ordered in contrasting sheepskin colours.
