THE LIMBER LOUNGE

The Limber Lounge

PROJECT The Limber Lounge is a flatpack lounge chair with a reclaimed denim cover.

BRIEF Made in Spring 2025 in Copenhagen studying under Danish cabinetmakers. The brief was to study Danish chair design and construct a flatpack plywood chair.

MATERIALS The chair is birch plywood (5mm, 8mm, 15mm) and the cover is irreparable jeans and stained towels.

The Limber Lounge is meant to move with you; both move with your body, and be taken apart for you to move it and reassemble it. Ironically, it was built in Denmark and did not move back to the US. It was left to live the rest of its life in Ørstedsparken in Copenhagen where it was photographed.

ASSEMBLES BY HAND. NO TOOLS, NO FORCE, 6 PINS.

DENIM COVER ADDS PADDING AND WARMTH.

MADE FROM THE UNWEARABLE JEANS AND DISCARDED BATH TOWELS OF OTHER STUDENTS

THE COVER IS REMOVABLE, WASHABLE, AND OPTIONAL.

THINNER PLYWOOD ON THE BACKREST AND SEAT ALLOWS FOR A GENTLE FLEX WITH MOVEMENT, WITHOUT TRADITIONAL UPHOLSTERY BUT REMAINING STRONG UNDER PRESSURE.
