The Orange

The Orange is a light, elegant and uniquely memorable mid-century armchair designed in the 1950s by the highly acclaimed Danish architect, Hans Olsen. It is one of the earliest known shell chairs and acquired its name because of its characteristic back and seat, which are reminiscent of orange peel. The design captures the zeitgeist of the 1950s, when experiments, bravery and skill resulted in world-class furniture. Reflecting both the eras experiments with colour and the architects own playful attitude to design, this upholstered shell chair is also available in a two-tone version.
