Description
The Teddy lounge chair and footstool is handmade by Indonesian sustainable rattan. Sika Design dug deeply into the Danish design archives and found yet another beautiful iconic furniture design from one of their favourite designers Viggo Boesen. Based on Viggo Boesen’s original drawings from 1941, Teddy is a sculptural and eye-catching lounge chair and footstool, which is both elegant and comfortable. Viggo Boesen’s philosophy of uniting the beautiful and sculptural with soft organic shapes, while the furniture should be firmly constructed and thus durable. The seat, armrests and high-back are handmade with bindings on a frame of rattan by skilled wicker workers. This chair works best in a place that has space and its natural element works in both a classic or contemporary environment. Viggo Boesen’s original furniture is today a collectable that is sold in auctions worldwide.
The stool is suitable for the ordinary home and cottage, and the detailed windings makes it a cozy element in the room. The stool is handmade in sustainable Indonesian rattan by skilled wicker makers. Sika-Design uses carefully selected rattan for furniture production to ensure the highest quality. Rattan is often compared to bamboo, but unlike bamboo which is hollow, rattan is a solid material. Rattan is a remarkably strong and indestructible material and you therefore get a unique piece of furniture that can last for generations.

Teddy Footstool
Designed by Viggo Boesen
Viggo Boesen
Trained as an architect, Viggo Boesen was an influencer of the Scandinavian ‘Funkis-style’ villas and homes of the 1930’s. However with a special interest in design, Boesen designed a number of pieces of modernist profiled wicker furniture, which were based on the strength and durability of rattan. His pieces have an organic flow and embrace the body smoothly and tenderly. Boesen’s unique and inspiring designs firmly place him among the designers of the ‘Danish golden age’.
