Story
Following Little Petra
Petra is based on Viggo Boesen's 1938 design and follows the great success of Little Petra. That smaller chair was named after Boesen's mother-in-law Petra, said to be a small woman with a big personality; the page feels her presence in the embracing form of the armchair.
A larger form
&Tradition puts it this way: the same bold character and aesthetic, now as a lounge chair with a high-set, winged backrest and unparalleled comfort.
