Story
A pleasant armchair
Normann Copenhagen says Rar takes its name from the Danish word for pleasant, alluding to a soft and comfortable seat and an uncomplicated expression. The armchair is one of three pieces in the collection, alongside a 2-seater and a 3-seater sofa.
Armrests framing the backrest
The product page highlights the meeting point between the armrests and the backrest, where the armrests frame the flat surface of the backrest. It describes this as a discreet detail that gives the design character.
