The Brasilia Lounge Chair from Audo Copenhagen (formerly Menu) represents a fascinating convergence of Scandinavian mid-century aesthetics and Brazilian Modernism—a bold design statement meticulously crafted by acclaimed Norwegian design duo Anderssen & Voll. This low-lying, luxurious hybrid merges armchair functionality with lounge-worthy comfort, creating a distinctive silhouette that commands attention while inviting complete relaxation. The chair's exaggerated proportions—characterized by generous armrests, substantial cushioning, and a perfectly angled backrest—deliver an unparalleled sitting experience that adapts to both active conversation and contemplative repose.
The chair's architectural foundation showcases traditional joinery techniques, with stout, sturdy wooden legs providing both visual strength and structural integrity. This robust frame creates a striking contrast against the sumptuous upholstery, establishing a visual dialogue between crisp, defined lines and soft, inviting surfaces. Available in an extensive range of premium upholstery options—from textured Kvadrat fabrics like Hallingdal, Remix, and Canvas to luxurious leather selections including Sørensen Ultra and Nevotex Dakar—the Brasilia Lounge Chair offers unparalleled customization to complement any interior palette or design scheme.
Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll, recipients of prestigious accolades including Wallpaper* Design Awards and Red Dot Awards, bring their signature thoughtfulness to every aspect of this design. Each chair begins as a concept developed over coffee, meticulously sketched on paper, refined through digital rendering, and perfected through elaborate scale models—a process that honors both intuitive creativity and exacting precision. The result is a piece that transcends trends while making a contemporary statement, embodying the designers' belief in the transformative power of beauty in everyday objects.
Perfect for creating sophisticated focal points in living rooms, establishing intimate reading corners, or anchoring conversation areas in both residential and hospitality settings, the Brasilia Lounge Chair makes a confident design statement without overwhelming its surroundings. Pair with the optional matching ottoman for the ultimate expression of comfort and style. The Brasilia Lounge Chair by Anderssen & Voll for Audo Copenhagen represents thoughtful Scandinavian craftsmanship imbued with South American soul—a testament to design that celebrates both cultural heritage and forward-thinking innovation.
