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.

Order by 31 October 2026.

Contact Fred for pricing, sheepskin samples and specification details.
