Story
1956
&Tradition says the Boomerang lounge chair first appeared in 1956 and still stands as a masterpiece of Danish design.
A streamlined form
In the page's account the shape is no-frills and streamlined, from the hand-polished wooden frame down to the slender legs, which are brass or stainless steel. The page shows the variant Oiled Oak with Brass, while the fact sheet pairs Karakorum 003 upholstery with an oiled oak or walnut frame and brass or stainless steel legs.
