Description
The Nanna & Jørgen Ditzel Model-2632 lounge chair for Fredericia is a beautifully sculptural example of Danish Modern design that combines form and comfort. Newly refinished and newly reupholstered in high-density foam and new tweed fabric over a solid oak frame, this chair feels fresh yet retains its classic mid-century charm.

In excellent restored condition, this lounge chair is a striking statement piece that elevates both contemporary and classic interiors.

Fun Historical Fact
The Model-2632 lounge chair was designed in the 1950s by Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel, part of the wave of Danish designers who helped define Scandinavian Modern aesthetics in the post-war era. Nanna Ditzel, educated as a cabinetmaker and trained at Copenhagen’s Royal Academy, was known for her belief that furniture should be as comfortable as it is beautiful — a radical departure from purely functional modernism. Fredericia Furniture, the manufacturer, played a central role in bringing many Danish Modern classics to market, collaborating with top designers of the time. Chairs like this one were celebrated for how they encouraged more relaxed, human-centric ways of sitting and living, influencing lounge seating design around the world.
